Critics Ratings
The 2011 Saskia is a blend of 71% Chenin Blanc, 24% Viognier and 5% Clairette. To be honest, the bouquet is giving very little away at the moment and seemed a little subdued despite rigorous coaxing. The palate compensates with a vibrant citrus-fresh opening: lemon peel, Clementine and a touch of white peach with a lovely crisp finish. The bouquet finally awakens, so I would recommend decanting this for an hour or two to get the most. Very fine - but be patient. - 90/100 Neal Martin, eRobertParker.com 2013
