Notes | |||
"Smoky, seductive and deceptively delicate, which when given time will shine with all the lacy lightness of the vintage. Lush notes of ripe peach and lemons, and lemongrass open the nose, leading into bright, leaping flavors of the same. Simultaneously dynamic and juicy with an irresistible natural playfulness stretched over a tense slate structure layered with dark spice and a nervy mineral finish. Still closed, indulge it with some time." - winemaker |
Critical Acclaim | |||
"Brimming with mango and pineapple aromas. It's really succulent, but it manages to tastes virtually weightless, not least because of the super-fresh, super-clean finish. Another Zilliken wine that's delightful now, but can age and age." - JamesSuckling.com |
