Matthew Jukes: "A spectacular, mineral-driven, laser-sighted wine that will make event he most revered Loire Valley specialist sit up and take note." James Suckling: "This has aromas of chalk, blanched almonds, white grapefruit, lemons and green apples. Hints of liquorice. Medium-bodied with phenolic tension. Structured, sharp and focused. Wild fermentation in old French barrels. Drink now or hold." 92 points. Jamie Goode: "Single-vineyard hand-picked Sauvignon, wild ferment in old barrels. This is a truly beautiful expression of Marlborough Sauvignon, tensile and complex with a spicy frill to the powerful citrus, apricot, passionfruit and fennel notes. There’s a beautiful acid line here, with crystalline citrus fruits dominating, and a long spicy finish. High acidity, but it doesn’t jar, such is the richness of the fruit here. This should age really well." 94 points.
