Reviews

Has texture and weight and very brisk, chalky freshness to it. You’re talking chills down spine territory here, clattering and chattering in the teeth with zip and tang, but feels even keeled despite that, grippy with fine tannin and ever so faintly red berried. The wine is clear as day in the glass, however. Has a finesse to it, quiet power, drive and precision. An interesting wine, no doubt, with sophistication on its side.

93 points, The Wine Front (June 2022)
