96 points James Suckling: "This is a wonderfully complex white that has layers of almonds, slate, lemons, lychees, cedar, nutmeg and apricots. Full-bodied yet fresh, with long and continuous flavor intensity, flinty and spicy, showing elegance and persistence. Very long. Drink or hold. (7/11/24)"
94 points Eric Guido (Vinous): "The 2021 Beyond the Clouds wafts up with an airy blend of confectionary spice, chamomile, stone dust and spicy hints of ground ginger. This is seamless and silken in feel, with ripe orchard fruits offset by flinty minerality. A cooling acidity adds lovely balance. It leaves a staining of primary concentration while finishing gently tannic and long. Sour citrus hints fade under an air of almond custard. This is a beautiful interpretation of the vintage, with amazing aromatics, a solid core of vividly ripe fruit and brilliant acidity to balance. Lose the 2021 in the cellar for another year or more, and then watch it mature gracefully over time. Drink: 2026-2034. (Mar 2024)"
Producer notes: "Brilliant, intensive yellow is the color of our white blend Beyond the Clouds. In the nose, a complex, beguiling play of aromas unfurls with fruity nuances of exotic fruits such as pineapple, notes of blossoms and flowers, of rose petals and light toast aromas. Dense and complex, the wine enthuses on the palate: with fullness and structure, creamily soft and elegant, stimulatingly fresh and juicy with a discreetly incorporated, modest note of wood and a long reverberation of taste."
