Score 92+/100 · Stephen Tanzer, Vinous, Sep 2007

Pure but reticent nose hints at white flowers and minerals. Suave and youthful, with a lovely light touch to its flavors of lemon, lime, spring flowers and crushed stone. This backward wine shows more acid spine than Colin's 2005 premier crus and will merit an even higher score if it blossoms with bottle aging.

Score 92-94/100 · Stephen Tanzer, Vinous, Jul 2006

(also tasted from a 350-liter barrel) Stony aromas of lemon cream and minerals. Pure, discreet and extremely young, with terrific density of material and a powerful stony, quinine character. This very unevolved wine mounts slowly, then coats the palate with flavors of lemon and crushed stone. Classically dry and in need of at least five or six years of aging. (Kermit Lynch, Berkeley, CA; Robert Chadderdon Selections, New York, NY).
