94 Points

Saturday, November 11, 2017 - Festival of Alex - Grand Birthday Dinner: Pineapple, lime, orange, mandarin, lemon and grapefruit on the nose. The palate has a real sense of delicacy and poise. Tangy acidity lifts the wine up with the sweetness siting in the background. Very good length, this is still very primary. I thought I'd be blown away by this, it didn't get there but was still excellent - perhaps more time will give it that extra interest to take it to the next level.
