Lea & Sandeman review
Wet stones, cool and serious on the nose, and this follows through, a reticent, weighty, lapidary feel. Powerful, mineral rather than fruity, very long. Classic stuff for a longer haul - from 2014 to see its best, although this is amazingly delicious now.Other reviews and comments
Lemon-oil nose. Really rather magnificent with great depth. Certainly no clue that this was an awkwardly acid vintage in the wines of this producer.

Terrific harmony and precision balance are the hallmarks of this elegant white, which is silky and bright, framing lime, peach, floral, mineral and nutmeg flavors, with lively acidity driving the long aftertaste
93/100
The Wine Spectator
Smoky, honeyed, citrus and tropical fruit. Stylish new oak with lots of spice. Tremendous purity.
