James Suckling Review
Rated 97
The brightness and fresh herbs, such as parsley and lemongrass, come out nicely. Some flint. It's full-bodied with a lovely density. It has plenty of ripe green apple, lemon-lime and brioche flavors. So pure and beautiful. From 50-year-old Wente clones. Very delicious now but will age beautifully. Drink now or hold.
