Stephen Brook | Discreet waxy lime nose. Good attack, vibrant and firm, with pungent grapefruit and green-apple flavors. A severe style, with minerality to the fore, but this is a Sauvignon with nuance and complexity, and more intriguing and satisfying than a mere fruit-bomb. This has punch and grip and fine length. | 92
Andrew Jefford | Pale gold. Clean and fresh, but lacking in contour, nuance, and intricacy. On the palate, the wine is a little more intricate and nuanced than the aromas suggested. Analytically, it is pure, moderately concentrated, acid-structured, with a cool gimlet-like style, but pungent and successful. | 87
Stephan Reinhardt | Pretty open on the nose, with concentrated but mature fruit aromas, this is a rich and elegant, slightly bitter Sancerre, with the requisite tension but a quite tannic finish. | 87
