Alana L rated this wine as 89/100 with the following review:

A truly delightful surprise! Received as a gift, this was not a wine that I would have thought I would enjoy so much given the style and relatively high (8 g/L) residual sugar. In fact, it has laid resting in our cellar for over a year until this weekend when we were looking for something to pair with an Indian-spiced crab dish and thought this just might be perfect. And it was beyond! One of the Hugel family's signature wines, it shines with fruity, floral and spicy notes and a surprising crisp freshness that I was not expecting. It's definitely and extrovert: medium lemon in colour with medium aroma and flavour intensities of ripe peaches and pears, cherry blossoms, lime & lychee. Off-dry with medium acidity, medium alcohol, medium body & medium flavor and a long finish, it’s a delight of a wine for any manner of spicy or cream sauce based dishes. A sip of nirvana with the Indian spiced crab and a sign to never judge a wine by one’s preconceptions! Truly delightful!

Unquenchable by Natalie MacLean

Natalie MacLean is a new force in the wine writing world ‐ a feisty North American answer to Hugh Johnson and Jancis Robinson. She can write beautifully about wine.

The Financial Times of London

There are very few people in the wine world who "get it" and Natalie is one of those who brings more fun to a buttoned-up and stodgy game.
