Reviews: “Pale green-yellow. Still somewhat closed nose reveals discreet fresh pear and a hint of greengage plum, plus wet slate and white pepper. Tightly knit and finely chiseled on the palate, with grapefruit and apple notes lingering on the finish. Drink now to 2014.” 90 pts, Peter Moser, Stephen Tanzer’s International Wine Cellar, Nov./Dec. 2008.
