Tasting notes
Wine Spectator – 91 pts (2003/07)
« Very ripe and powerful, with loads of apple tart and vanilla character. Full-bodied, with fresh acidity and a very long aftertaste. This is loaded with character. This has always been a great white producer, but few people know it. Best after 2004. 2,500 cases made. »
