80 to 84 good
85 to 89 very good
90 to 94 excellent
95 to 100 outstanding
James Halliday’s 95-point rating means he was enthralled by this racy white. It has great complexity and length, and with lower than normal (for Australia) 12.5 per cent alcohol, it’s similar
to a powerful sancerre from the Loire Valley. Lovely tangerine, lime, spearmint and thyme
aromas. But 95 points is just too high a rating;
at that level, I want ethereal. LCBO 48546
