"This wine's shy nose has a promising whiff of lemony chalkiness. Concentrated but with a lovely sense of tension, the palate offers wet, chalky, stony length, with a gorgeous whiff of oystershell. It lingers subtly, with an accent on texture and freshness rather than fruit. Drink now-2030. Anne Krebiehl MW"

"A lifted note on the shy nose of this wine hints at ripeness, while a hit of ripe lemon zest promises freshness. The palate delivers both, with the rounded ripeness of pear and Mirabelle plus aromatic freshness that recalls crunchy greengage and ripe lemon. The finish is lasting, balanced and dry. Anne Krebiehl MW"
