The Review:
88-91 points, Allen Meadows, Burghound.com
(100% stainless). Moderate reduction pushes the underlying fruit to the background though there is good verve and detail to the rich medium weight flavours that terminate in a clean, dry and bitter citrus rind-inflected finish. This is actually quite good and worth considering for a wine that should repay short to perhaps mid-term keeping.
