    Justerini & Brooks Tasting note

    An incredible palate-awakener of a wine with huge depth and tension; a rapier like acidity compliments wonderful fruit blossom, acacia, jasmine, nectarine and honeysuckle fruit with notes of lemon zest and dry crushed stones. So long, fine-tuned and expansive, this shimmers with the brightness and beauty of a fine cut diamond.

    Stephen Tanzer,

    Pale bright yellow. Lemon, lime, hawthorn, lavender and crushed stone on the nose. The penetrating palate combines great sweetness with bracing acidity, leaving the wine a bit overbearing today and much less harmonious than the Batard. But this is wonderfully dense and long. The wine's acids and sugar will need time to harmonize. I would expect this to merit a higher score with six or seven years in bottle.
