This vintage has garnered acclaim, receiving 93-94 points from James Suckling, who praised its bright, delicious profile characterised by gooseberry, citrus blossom, and crushed stone notes. It is noted for its mineral quality, freshness, medium body, and vivid acidity, with a tense and energetic character leading to an attractively phenolic finish.
The Wine Advocate awarded it 89-91 points, highlighting aromas of confit citron, lime, lime tree leaves, herbs, and spices. On the palate, the wine delivers a juicy, round, and layered experience, framed by bright acidity that enhances its mouthwatering finish and delicate smoky hints.
