Steve Tanzer 90+ points (Oct 2009) Bright green-tinged yellow. Captivating scents of lime, underripe pineapple, tarragon, smoke and beeswax. Rich, tactile and quite dry, combining brisk citrus notes with a slightly sweaty saline element; shows a light note of bitter citrus pith that reminded me of Muscadet. This distinctly grown-up wine is slow to open. Give it 6 to 12 months to absorb its CO2 Finishes with noteworthy persistence.
