critic reviews
92+/100Stephen Tanzer,Vinous
(frost losses were modest here as the bottom portion of the vineyard escaped damage): Bright yellow. Sexy, superripe yellow fruits and a musky truffley note on the nose. Very ripe and rich, with a juicy peach flavor and an exotic mango quality. Densely packed wine with surprising acid balance for its ripeness; there's nothing thick or heavy here. Most impressive today on the very long, slow-building, palate-saturating finish. Serious wine, but not for now--and yet it's revealing much more personality than a barrel sample demonstrated in the late spring of 2017.
