Score 91+/100 · Stephen Tanzer, Vinous, Sep 2014

White peach and spices on the very discreet nose. Tactile but quite taut on the palate, showing a strong mineral underpinning to its peach oil and pit flavors accented by white pepper. Finishes chewy, dry and youthfully closed, in need of bottle aging. This will surely merit a higher score if it shows more pliancy with time in the cellar.

Score 17.5/20 · Drink 2016-2026, Richard Hemming MW, jancisrobinson.com, Jan 2014

Closed nose, brooding palate. Refreshing acid, slight saline character, very savoury and intellectual. (RH)

Score 90-92/100 · Stephen Tanzer, Vinous, Sep 2013

Aromas of peach, pineapple and brown spices. Tightly wound and a bit youthfully ungiving, with strong acidity keeping the peach and lemon flavors under wraps. Seems less ripe and more closed-in on itself than most of Colin's premier crus from Chassagne, with a faint hard edge on the finish that may be the result of hail.
