Press reviews:

The Wine Companion: “Without ego, just matter of fact, Patrick Sullivan says, ‘This is the best wine I’ve made to date.’ Why? The balance of acid, fruit, texture and tension. No argument, young man. This is something else. Electrifying, pure and long. It couples power and elegance, detail and delight, flavour and finesse. Citrus, white stone fruit, flinty, funky sulphides, electrifying acidity. It’s all about the palate, how it feels and how it makes you feel. Mesmerising.” 97 points

Jancis Robinson: “Lemon curd and yellow plums on the nose. Fantastic concentration and detail. Again, the interplay of oak and fruit is just right, adding complexity without being overwhelming. There’s a touch of ginger, too. A marriage of power and elegance through the palate. Layered, fine acidity, with more mineral spice and pure lemon character on the long, evolving finish. Serious, impressive. Drink now-2034.” 17.5 points

The Real Review: “The complex and beguiling bouquet presents buttery, smoky, candle-snuff and cashew nuances over background stone fruits, as well as lemon-juice. It’s bright and lively in the mouth with invigorating acidity and riveting intensity, lingering long after the wine has gone. A very fine chardonnay indeed, with a great acid line. Drink now-2033.” 97 points
