James Suckling 91 Points | Spiced apples and pears with hints of citrus peel and raw almonds on the nose. Tense and juicy with medium to full body and a compact, lightly phenolic texture. Vivid and lingering. Drink or hold.

Expert Reviews - Prior Vintage 2022
The Wine Enthusiast 91 Points | Flavors of ripe apple, quince, lemon pith and wet stone are carried by bright acidity into a very long finish. The freshness and purity of this wine lean towards austerity but are balanced by bright flavor and a light spice accent for an energetic and restrained white wine.
James Suckling 91 Points | This fresh-tasting, clean and uncomplicated wine shows little oak influence and a vivid, mouthwatering balance. Green apple, quince and subtle butter aromas lead to a generous, fruity and minerally palate on a medium body. Drink or hold.
