95	International Wine Challenge	Nutty, biscuity wine with dried herbs, seaweed salinity and orange marmalade character. Searingly dry, marvelous. Gold Winner 2018
92	Wine Enthusiast	A bouquet of vanilla, almond, iodine and sea breeze sets the stage for flavors of peach, licorice and cinnamon. This wine is elegant and smooth in the mouth and offers a sense of warming the insides of the cheeks. Mike DeSimone - Issue May 2023
17/20	Jancis Robinson.com	Golden brown and very expressive on the nose with hazelnut, golden syrup and mixed peel. Lovely tamarind sourness to the finish, very savoury, mushroom sauce finish. Richard Hemming MW, September 2015
