Hyde de Villaine Description
Aromas of Asian pear, melon and Meyer lemon are lifted by delicate citrus and jasmine flowers. Subtle savory notes of toasted hazelnut, flint and a touch of saline bring balance to the elegant fruit flavors. In the palate, a “nervy” edge to the wine plays beautifully with lemon curd and gentle sensation of creaminess. Concentration of this vintage lends to an extended finish that is focused by the agility of the acidity.
James Suckling: 99 Points
The wine blooms with pear blossoms, lemons, lime zest, tangerines, lemon blossoms, then creamy but delicate flavors of butter, vanilla bean, lemon curd, chalky minerals and salinity. Medium- to full-bodied, it finishes long and lingering.
Wine Spectator: 95 Points
An impressive version, with intense flavors, a creamy texture and wonderful harmony. Offers ripe peach, melon and apricot notes, plus salted butterscotch, toasted fennel seed and orange blossom accents. A touch of shortbread and spices echoes on the long, mouthwatering finish, where the acidity reveals vibrant facets.
