"Brilliant. Magical winemaking, fine terroir and an outstanding vintage combine to make this enormously successful white. Clean, pure, vibrant, with toasted oak, pine-tree sorbet, honey, lime and deep mineral flavors, this is a sensationally balanced wine that rises to the top of its vintage. Full-bodied, it vibrates with energy and toasted oak on the palate, staying animated for what seems like 60 seconds or more on the finish."
