"Estremamente affascinante e varietale alterna note di ginestre ed elicriso a sfumature di mango, papaya e pesche gialle molto mature. Corpo medio-pieno, sapido e slanciato nel sorso chiude vibrante e decisamente territoriale. Bevi ora o invecchia."

"Aromas of citrus and smoke shape the nose along with whiffs of oak. Reflecting the aromas, the racy, linear features apricot, unsweetened lemon drop, lime and hazelnut alongside the barest hint of butterscotch before a flinty mineral close. Racy acidity keeps it energized and balanced. Kerin O'Keefe"

"Estremamente terso ed elegante offre sentori erbacei che ricordano l'erba tagliata, merle verdi, kiwi poco maturi, siepe falciata e timo selvatico. Corpo pieno, succoso ed avvolgente mostra grinta e carattere nel sorso definito di media-lunga persistenza. Bevi ora o invecchia."
