Description
James Suckling Review
Rated 91
Vibrant nose of lemon blossoms, crisp apples and jasmine with an underlying leesy character (think bread dough). Excellent interplay of racy acidity with restrained creaminess on the sleek and focused, medium-bodied palate. Very bright and clean finish with wet stone character. Drink or hold.
