Simon Field | A rather disheveled wine, one swirl and it’s on its way; pungent, yet a little reduced, unnervingly dry yet not lacking for concentration and power on the finish. A few more months for the shape to crystalize—hitherto clumsy. | 82
Andrew Jefford | Pale gold. Sweet, fresh scents, though rather undifferentiated and unfocused. Full, rich, weighty, and structured on the palate; clean and well made. An excellent wine whose only failing is not to have the characterful terroir-derived notes you would find on Santorini, but it would be a very good food white nonetheless: pure, long, vivid yet ample. | 90
Demetri Walters | Quite compact and guarded at this stage, though showing all the nascent qualities of a savory fine wine that is built for the long haul. A slight mandarin fragrance emerges from a bold lemon seam. Saline—of the sea, fresh and precise, but altogether dense and giving. Quite something. | 94
