Score 94/100 · Stephen Tanzer, Vinous, May 2010
Bright yellow. Compellingly pure, complex nose melds citrus fruits, ginger, smoky minerals and a strong oyster shell quality. Impressively dense and vibrant in the mouth, conveying an impression of mineral-driven power and structure. This penetrating, voluminous wine boasts incredible depth without any impression of weight. Fruit is playing a supporting role here. The fine-grained, tactile finish offers exceptional clarity and length. This was among the finest chardonnays I tasted during my early March trip.
