93/100 55

This stylish wine continues to build the fine reputation the label has earned over the years. It has the usual power and complexity with concentrated citrus/grapefruit and mineral characters given extra spice from nutty yeast lees and classy oak. Firmly structured and with the potential to age very well indeed.
