Luis Gutiérrez called this wine \"... perfumed and floral, insultingly young, with subtle nuances of violets and earth ...\" and awarded it a score of 90 points, suggesting a drinking window extending to 2019. (robertparker.com, Dec. 30,2016)TASTING NOTE: A dense and rich wine with lots of fresh fruit and herb. Full body, chewy and dry. Shows richness with tension. Drink now. Score - 93 (James Suckling, jamessuckling.com, May 20, 2016) |
