"Austere in its savory lees, this expands from a tight place into a plump and ample finish, even as its lasting flavors are bready, nutty and undeveloped. The overall impression is clean and fresh, slowly yielding scents of nut meats, orange meringue and lemon oil. Cool, spicy and compressed, this needs bottle age to mellow and expand." 92 Points, Wine and Spirits Magazine
