Reviews
Candice Chow - 93 Points - 5 Stars
Bright, even, pale yellow. The nose is gently full, with aromas of autumn pear, citrus, white floral, and cinnamon. Medium-bodied, dry to taste, aromas of autumn pear and grapefruit entwined with cinnamon, ginger, and an abundance of white floral. The fruit is aromatic, with good depth, and elegantly presented. Lively acidity provides freshness throughout a silky mouthfeel, lending a dry, spiced finish. Refreshing and elegantly expressed. Match with steamed fish and dim sum over the next 3+ years. 18.5/20 pts (93 pts) Feb 2026
Wine Orbit- Sam Kim 93 Points 5 Stars
It's elegantly expressed on the nose, showing white-fleshed peach, Nashi pear, and rockmelon nuances with a hint of flinty overtone. The palate displays juicy fruit flavours, fleshy texture, and finely integrated acidity, making it harmonious and delightfully appealing. At its best: now to 2028. Feb 2026.
