Score 98/100 · James Suckling, Aug 2024
Softness and roundness to this, as well as freshness, offering aromas of light yogurt with hints of wood and pie crust. It really opens with air to show hazelnuts, stone, cooked apples and gunpowder. Extremely long and flavorful. A great white with soul. A single-vineyard chardonnay from 1.5 hectares. 9,000 bottles made. Very open and beautiful now, but will improve with age.
