93 Points - Wine Enthusiast:
"Sun-drenched passion fruit and mango abound from nose to finish in this gloriously tropical sip. While ballerina-like in structure, it packs a powerful punch of juicy, intensely concentrated fruit backed by a steely, spine-tingling frame of acidity. Hard to resist now for its fruity exuberance but should hold much longer." - Anna Lee C. Iijima (4/2021)
