"Pale gold. A pungent bouquet displays scents of pear skin, nectarine, iodine and chalky minerals. The mineral and iodine qualities carry onto the palate, which offers intense orchard and pit fruit flavours, a chewy texture and a refreshingly bitter jolt of lemon pith. Closes with impressive power and mineral cut, leaving a juicy pear note behind." 92 points Josh Raynolds for Vinous.com.
