The Tasting Panel –
“A luscious array of lemon custard, salted melon, lime blossom, and vanilla bean. Acidity strikes a pose, allowing the richness of pear tart to show its leaner nature. Delicious and complex.”
James Suckling –
“Generous aromas of lemon confit, grilled pineapple, toasted nuts and brioche. The palate is medium- to full-bodied with bright acidity and a creamy texture, giving flavors of grapefruit, lime curd and salted popcorn. Nice freshness from blocking some malolactic fermentation.”
