TASTING NOTE: Rich honeysuckle, marzipan and oak aromas meet bright lemon grass on the nose of this bottling, showing both the fresh and oxidative sides of the grape. Smoked chicken and brioche notes are prominent on the palate, leading to a tangy, botanical, juniper-laced finish. Score - 90 (Matt Kettman, Wine Enthusiast, May 1, 2017) |
