James Suckling, 92 Points 

"Notes of waxed lemon, peach skin and beeswax with some walnut and earthy undertones. Medium- to full-bodied, dense and oily with a polished, slightly salty center palate. Hints of pine resin. Creamy finish. A blend of chardonnay, sauvignon blanc and picolit. Drink now." 

Winemaker Notes: 

"Already from youth its color gives nuances of yellow and gold of ancient reflections, very bright and remarkably clean. On the nose, notes of wax, apricots under spirits, broom and honey give the wine an immediate fresh but structured impact. Incredible its minerality, which elevates it vertically and gives it extraordinary freshness. In the mouth all the complexity, envelopment, silkiness and structure of the wine expand with incredible finesse and elegance giving rise to sensations of caressing voluptuousness. Incredible when aged for several (ten and more) years."
