Score 96/100 · James Suckling, Sep 2019
This has a striking nose with stone and flint, as well as yellow grapefruit and lemon pith. The palate has such tautness and layered texture, building on the palate. Great depth and detail here. The acidity is scintillating and the grilled cashew-nut finish is hauntingly beautiful.
