Critical response
The wine was rated 98 points by The Wine Advocate. Critic Luis Gutierrez said ‘the wine has the ultra sleek and polished texture and the elegance and the balance that is the signature here; the wine is very clean and precise’. He further noted that ‘overall, this is a triumph over the adverse conditions of the vintage. They produced their usual 100,000 bottles (since 2018), as they are renewing their vineyards and want to keep the volume stable’.
Jane Anson awarded the wine 97 points, calling it ‘great stuff, playing at a high level’.
Meanwhile, Lisa Perrotti-Brown MW (The Wine Independent) awarded the wine 95 points.
