Score 95/100 · James Suckling, Feb 2022

Beautiful apple and crushed stone with white pepper and lemon curd on the nose. Full-bodied with layers of fruit and creamy, light yogurt undertones to the tangy dried-citrus aftertaste. Rich, lively and complex. Solid and structured. Very drinkable now, but better after 2024 and beyond.

Score 94/100 · Drink 2022-2028, Antonio Galloni, Vinous, Jan 2022

The 2018 Chardonnay is a magical, complex wine that really blossoms beautifully with a few hours of air. Layered and deep, with tons of nuance, the 2018 remains light on its feet and quite understated. Hints of apricot, tangerine, chamomile and dried flowers slowly open with a bit of coaxing. It's the sort of wine that requires several hours of undivided attention.
