96 points Tim Atkin, MW: "(12.5%). The Cenizas Sauvignon Blanc was the wine that made Laberinto's name at the start and it remains one of the best expressions of the grape in Chile. Stony and volcanic, with a hint of good reduction, grapefruit, greengage and white pepper flavours, lip-smacking acidity and lots of verve and energy. 2023-29. (2023)"

95 points Luis Gutiérrez (Wine Advocate): "The 2022 Cenizas de Laberinto Sauvignon Blanc is sharp and vibrant, with 12.6% alcohol, a pH of 3.04 and 8.77 grams of acidity. It was produced with grapes from vines planted in 1993 on volcanic ash soils. In 2022, Tirado macerated a bit more, looking for a little more structure. The wine didn't go through malolactic and was bottled after eight months with lees. This is sharp as a knife, with subtle aromas of meat broth and savory rather than floral or exotic, less varietal, complex, austere and mineral, with a rocky sensation. It's textured and tasty, clean, long and nuanced, fresh and balanced, with the cool sensation of the cold nights. He's worked a lot through decantation to be able to bottle the wine unfiltered, and the wine is bright and clean. It's an amazing wine, one of the finest values in Chile. 25,000 bottles produced. It was bottled in November 2022. Experience with older vintages tells me this wine is going to develop nicely in bottle. Drink: 2023-2032. (4/6/23)"
