CLUB 90+ - NOTED 90/100
"Brilliant pale gold. Complex nose of yellow fruits, citrus and floral notes backed by gunflint and mellow oak. Very supple attachk leading into a velvety, mouth-coating palate showing impeccable balance and focused fruit. Elegant and very flavoursome!

Wine Enthusiast - R. Voss (USA) August 2012
Buying Guide : 87
Wood aging has produced a well- rounded wine. It has a citrus flavor to go with the more tropical fruit, a good zing of acidity and a crisp aftertaste. Drink now, or age over the next year.

Wine Enthusiast (USA) February 2009
Buying guide rating: 87"Closed and tight, this wine takes a while to reveal its ripe pear and apricot flavors. It is rich, but keeps its freshness very much to the fore. Lemon zest and tangerine fruits give acidity, which is rounded out by a spicy, lightly toasty aftertaste."

Irish Examiner - Blake Creedon (Ireland) September 2007
Bordeaux wines done up as a modern brand at this sort of price would have been unimaginable just a decade ago. This is a beautifully crisp fresh Sauvignon Semillon.
