Score 87-89/100 · Stephen Tanzer, Vinous, Sep 2013
Bright, pale medium yellow. Stone fruit aromas are complicated by a slightly funky leesy element. Then smooth and sweet in the mouth, with ripe stone fruit flavors complicated by a saline quality. Finishes lemony and dry, with a lightly tannic suggestion. The crop level here was just 25 hectoliters per hectare, according to Boillot.
