TONY ASPLER / 88.5-points / BUY- Mineraly, apple and lemon peel nose; medium to light-bodied, crisply dry, apple flavour with a honeyed note and a light floral note.

TASTING NOTE: A surprisingly complex offering for the price with notes of honey and beeswax, lemon zest and green apple. Above average intensity and depth of flavour. Frankly, this is a steal. Power and presence but also polish. Verve and freshness add dimension and elegance. An impressive find. Score - 91 (Sara d'Amato, winealign.com, June 2, 2016) |
