93 Points – Antonio Galloni’s Vinous (2015 Vintage):
“Green-tinged gold. Ripe melon, pear, tangerine and toasty lees on the highly perfumed nose; a mineral flourish lends focus and lift. Silky and seamless on the palate, displaying concentrated orchard and citrus fruit flavors that pick up a refreshingly bitter quinine note with aeration. Deftly blends richness and delicacy and closes with strong, tangy persistence and an echo of smoky minerals.” – Josh Raynolds (Nov 2017)
