Score 90/100 · Stephen Tanzer, Vinous, Sep 2006

Complex aromas of lemon and white flowers. Sweet, slightly high-toned and brisk, with expressive lemon and spice flavors and an enticing floral element. Very fresh, classic and dry, with a juicy quality on the finish that perks up the salivary glands. Like the Clos du Cromin, this is still shocked by the bottling but its freshness and class are obvious.

Score 89-92/100 · Stephen Tanzer, Vinous, Sep 2005

Less perfumed and more reticent on the nose: citrus fruits and hazelnut. Sweet, fat and rich, with more depth and more verve. The most substantial 2004 to this point, finishing with excellent length.
