Professionele reviews

Robert Parker (98)

This full-bodied blend of 54% Sauvignon Blanc and 46% Semillon has a level of concentration and intensity that makes it the dry white wine of the vintage. Loads of minerality, a hint of subtle spice, but mostly just pure orange marmalade, candle wax, honeysuckle and caramelized melons make for a full-bodied, distinctive style of wine to drink over the next 50+ years.

Winespectator (96)

Remarkably polished and lush, with creamed white peach, grapefruit curd and heather honey notes, followed by a rapier of crème fraîche, green almond and chamomile flavors that drives through the finish. Weighty, pure and supple, featuring echoes of white truffle and toasted macadamia nut flickering in the background. Sports ample toast on the finish, bound to be soaked up in the cellar thanks to this wine's amazing definition and cut.

James Suckling (99)

This great white is very impressive indeed with cream, honey and mangos and a depth of minerals as well. Full-bodied and very round with pretty fruit and lots of lanolin, lemon peel and sliced apple character. Very juicy and soft. A wine of intense contrasts of tropical fruits and citrus. Bright and intense acidity, but it's all in harmony.

Jancis Robinson (17)

Bright fruit and not a hint of oak although it was clearly used. Well made and well balanced with a good fruity core but not terribly thrilling. This should age well. Quite a firm finish. Drier than most.
