Tasting notes (Stephen Tanzer) : Powerful scents of exotic fruits, brioche, smoky minerals and singed orange. Deep and rich, precise on the palate, offering palate-coating orchard and pit fruit flavors and sneaky minerality. Rich and energetic at the same time. 93/100

Tasting Notes (Antonio Galloni) : Intensely perfumed and bright, Les 7 showcases striking interplay of aromas, flavors and textures. Citrus, white orchard fruit and sweet, perfumed overtones all develop in the glass. 92/ 00
