REVIEWS
Stephen Tanzer's International Wine Cellar
Knockout, varietally expressive nose offers musky grapefruit peel, lemon, orange, tangerine, anise, pepper and tarragon. Densely packed and penetrating, with superb definition to the flavors of lemon, grapefruit, licorice and peppery herbs. Really pristine and uncompromising on the very long, spicy finish. 92/100
