- Wine Advocate: 94 points – "The white 2022 Guru comes from a number of old vineyards, all planted with a field blend of varieties, in the village of Murça. It fermented, by vineyard, in barrels and matured in them, with only 5% new barrels (just to renew them) and a majority of 500-liter ones... It's textured and elegant, very nicely crafted and balanced."
