96/100
James Suckling
"This is a strong vintage of cuvée Vat 1, from a hot, dry season. The nose is full of yellow lemon and light toast with a very attractive purity. The palate is reminiscent of Teflon, soft and pure. Highly polished and pure, with immaculate lemon flavors. Long and fresh. Drink or keep." (James Suckling 2020) Screw-cap packaging
