James Suckling’s 93-point review highlights its vibrant profile: aromas of ripe cherries and dried strawberries mingle with mineral-rich pumice and basalt notes, while orange blossom adds a delicate floral touch. The palate delivers medium-to-full body, framed by chewy tannins that balance freshness through tannic tension—a hallmark of its volcanic origins.
