95 Points
Tuesday, December 25, 2012 - Super-fine bead, relatively light colour; incredible precision and finesse, deceptively light with its magical marriage of elegance and intensity, perfectly fresh at 14 years of age, racy, tightly knit, perfect harmony and great energy, added weight from the Montagne Chardonnay, excellent length. An effortlessly perfect example of its style.
