Score 17.5/20 · Drink 2013-2017, Julia Harding MW, jancisrobinson.com, Jan 2009

Marked by savoury toasty oak on the nose but with an underlying zesty lime freshness. Powerful, taut, already complex but you sense there is more to be revealed. (JH)

Score 88-91/100 · Stephen Tanzer, Vinous, Sep 2008

Locked up on the nose compared to the Romanee, hinting at oak spice. Big, rich and mouthfilling, with a fatter texture and more volume than La Romanee but not quite the same class. The citrus and herbal flavors are joined by crushed stone and spices on the finish. This is not particularly expressive today and it's entirely possible that it's better than it's showing now.
