BUY THE WINE

Jamie Goode | Focused, refined citrus and toast nose, with nice precision and elegance. The palate has fantastic purity and linear citrus drive, with slight hints of toast and wax. A serious wine with great aging potential, keen acidity keeping it taut. | 92

Peter Richards | Expressive, engaging aromas of baked lime and freshly made toast. Classic Semillon style, withatouch of development and toasty, slightly nutty aromas. Really inviting. Vibrant, borderline electric acidity runs through it right from the start—it’s compelling in this context. Limey acidity and toasty, nutty overtones carry it through the palate. It’s pretty full-on, really needs some food to soften it. It also could be longer and more cohesive on the finish. But this is a thing of joy, so much wine here. Give this one some bottle age and a tuna steak with freshly made guacamole—and you’ll be in heaven. | 93

David Williams | Deep and savory nose, with some honeyed toastiness, and then the pull into a deep and satisfying savory palate, with flashes of that honey and a pleasing waxiness of texture, but agility, too—this doesn’t feel heavy or cumbersome in the least—then some salty seasoning, citrus-pith tanginess, and super length. Very good. | 93
