Score 18/20 · Drink 2006-2018, Jancis Robinson MW, Oct 2004
Savoury, exciting, complex nose with real lift. More evolved than most, but quite a strong impact. Dense, brisk, rewarding. Lots there – great concentration. (JR)

Jancis Robinson MW
Score 15/20 · Drink 2010-2025, Jancis Robinson MW, Dec 2002
Big, bold and open on the nose. Masses of acidity hits the palate initially. Quite an aggressive and certainly very youthful style of wine. Refreshingly clean finish but of regular vintage rather than de luxe quality. (JR)

Reticent aromas and flavors hinting at vanilla pastry, peach, citrus and ginger, all beautifully integrated with its firm structure and supple texture. A roasted, nutty element emerges on the finish. Nov 04, www.winespectator.com
