Description
The wine is all richness—loaded with botrytis and concentration. With its balanced acidity and dried fruit flavors, it's ripe, gorgeous and developing well, if slowly. This will be a great wine, but wait until 2024 to open it. Wine Enthusiast- 96/100 Points.

***92+/100 Points- Lisa Perrotti-Brown for the Wine Advocate, Tasted Aug. 2018***
Pale lemon in color, the 2014 Sigalas has a wonderfully exotic, tropical fruit scented nose with nuances of honeycomb, fresh ginger, allspice and a touch of lime blossoms. The rich, boldly fruited palate has a zippy line of freshness lifting layer upon layer of pineapple and guava inspired flavors, finishing on a long lingering spicy note.
