Michael Schuster: Vivid combination on the nose of Semillon guava and Sauvignon Blanc ripe gooseberry—fat and freshness; fleshy and vigorous, concentrated, linear, bone dry, full of crisply ripe citrus and mineral- infused fruit; long, racy, sapid wine with fine, resonant length. Long-term linear elegance. Very fine indeed. Needs ten years. 2018–30+. 18+
