95pts Halliday Wine Companion “It’s quite ridiculous how good Sauvage is in all sorts of vintage conditions, although the warmer ’24 does suit the variety. However, this is about building complexity, not simply a varietal wine. An amalgam of delicious flavours – from lime and lemon juice, zest and curd to fresh herbs, stone fruit, smoked bacon and lots of nutty/creamy lees and barrel fermentation flavours ... yum yum yum. There’s texture, tangy acidity and excellent length.”

94pts Ray Jordan "This is a wine that is so well balanced and crafted that it drinks beautifully now, but with that quality fruit and that well-weighted oak, it will handle extended cellaring to become something quite different. Intense, vibrant, with a fine precise acidity driving through to a long finish."

94pts Winefront "Well balanced oak seasoning comes as cashew cream and a note of vanilla slice. The elegant line of perfume is built around herbs like oregano and thyme, mint, lemon blossom, blackcurrant leaf and a touch of pineapple skin aroma. The finish is long, aromatic and pithy like pink grapefruit, with crushed oyster shells and a gently rising warming sensation of pickled ginger. Complex wine and pretty well put together." Kasia Sobiesiak.
