Score 89/100 · Stephen Tanzer, Vinous, Jul 2004
Lemon, minerals, flint and smoke on the nose. Juicy and fine-grained on entry, with firm mineral character giving it a youthful tightness. Then opens out and expands nicely on the back half, finishing with ripe, sweet notes of lemon, dried nuts and spices.

Score 89-92/100 · Stephen Tanzer, Vinous
(now in tank, like all of these 2002s except the Vaudesir and Blanchot; this began with 30% barriques, mostly four-year-old barrels) Brisk aromas of lemon cream and wet stone. Sweet and lush but firm, with snappy lemon cream flavor of noteworthy purity. Offers lovely sucrosity leavened by lively acidity. Finishes pure, vibrant and long. From vines averaging 40 years of age.
