A very pleasant, well-made SB with green melon, green apple, bell pepper and minerality on the bouquet. This wine captures the essence of Casablanca via citrus, apple, grass and minerally flavors that dance on a crisp bed of fine acidity. Long and uncompromised on the finish. ——M.S.(4/1/2011)—— 89

Very intense and borderline rough. The nose is burnt/acrid, nutty and sulfuric, and ultimately it’s a rough go. The palate is also aggressive and lemony, with an undercurrent of tart green apple. Then sulfur returns on the finish. Sometimes less is more, and this one just pushes too hard,with shaky results.——M.S.(3/1/2009)—— 82
