James Suckling (92)

Lightly mineral but supple with lilacs, chalk and creamy white fruit. Poised, mellow yet textured and fresh, showing subtle sweetness to the fleshy nectarines in the middle. 100% semillon. From biodynamically grown grapes with Demeter certification. Drink now.

Jancis Robinson (16.50)

Natural cork closure.
Tasted blind. Very floral indeed. Then rich and weightier than most on the palate. Flattering. But not as serious as some. (JR)

Vinous (92)

The maiden 2022 Lilium (FYI, Latin for lily) is more or less the same as the Asphodele but represents a selection that is aged in WineGlobe. It has a light Granny Smith and white flower-scented bouquet that offers slightly more presence than the Asphodele. The palate is well balanced with a more resinous texture and seems to have more matière. Texturally satisfying, this is one to look out for after bottling, though quantities will be limited to 3,000 bottles.

BOW (8)

Drank one year after the release, and it really feels like the wine is settled. The Climens 2022 offers a wonderful bright nose with white flowers and pear fruit not too energetic but already offers the promise of complexity. The palate offers very interesting hints of not too sweet honey, some citrus fruits and a nice complexity and bite.
