Wine Enthusiast, May 2025

The grapefruit and honey aromas of this wine are echoed in its crisp and rounded textures. It is ripe with apple and spice flavors, the wood aging subtly in the background. Drink from 2027. — Roger Voss

James Suckling describes it as "very bright and mineral with lively citrus-fruit, ginger, white-flower and crushed-stone character," awarding it an impressive score of 94 points.
