  • Score: 89 Vintage 2023 Vinous The sweetly floral 2023 Verdeca opens with a blend of candied lime and minty herbs. This is juicy in feel, with salty mineral tones adding complexity as tart orchard fruits cascade throughout. Hints of green melon linger as this finishes with admirable length and classical dryness.
