96 points
“With bright lemon and peach fruits on the nose, this is very pure and elemental. There are also some crushed rocky notes and a flinty edge to be found here. A compose and discreetly complex chardonnay that really chisels with air. The palate has a very assertive core of acidity, the fruit remains fleshy and supple, the power and elegance are impressive and the citrus and cool stone fruit flavors close things off.”
