Score 92/100 · Allen Meadows, Burghound, Jul 2008

An impressively high-toned nose that is pure, elegant and beautifully refined as it features spiced pear and green apple aromas plus wisps of acacia blossom that merge seamlessly into the crisp and equally pure medium-bodied flavors that are quite finely detailed and finish with a chiseled and firmly stony finale. This is not as explosive as the best 1ers here but doesn't lack for energy and punch plus it should age well over the mid-term.

Score 89-92/100 · Stephen Tanzer, Vinous, Sep 2007

Ripe, nuanced aromas of hazelnut, flowers and minerals; this has the chalky element that the Referts is missing. Very rich but juicy, with good energy to leaven its sweetness. The wine's underlying minerality contributes to its impression of energy and grip.
