Jamie Goode | Full colored. Intriguing appley, oxidative nose with almond and cherry hints. The palate is intense with keen acidity and some nutty hints, as well as apple and herb notes. Pungent, tangy, and saline, this has some flor-like character. Bold and intense, but with a lot to like, although it is a distinctive, singular style. | 92

Peter Richards | Wow! Oxidative, aldehydic (but not unpleasantly so—more in the realms of Fino Sherry or Vin Jaune), bruised red-apple aromas. Takes no prisoners. Full-on style. But my, how that palate comes together—juicy, structured, seamless, hugely complex, and utterly compelling. I love this wine. It dares to be different—not common in the South American context of old, though more so now, which is great to see. It’s unique. It may scare some people. But I adore this complexity, this verve, the savory depths of what is like a cross between great Burgundy, Jura, Champagne, and beyond. Stunning. | 97

David Williams | Funky flor character and curry leaf and umami and nuttiness: utterly fascinating aroma and flavor characteristics. But it’s the depth- charge of electric energy driving all that savory intensity that keeps you coming back for more of this endlessly evolving and rewarding wine. | 94
