James Suckling ReviewRated 94A wonderfully textural and aromatic wine that overdelivers for the price. Aromas of jasmine and citrus blossoms alongside a little bitter orange peel. Light- to medium-bodied with persistence and a lot of pleasing citrusy oiliness that coats the palate, followed by cleansing acidity and a long finish. Priced to drink now but ageable as well.
