"A discreet application of wood does not reduce the considerable appeal of the ripe, pure and airy nose with its broad mélange of wild red berry fruit liqueur, earth, spice, violets and a hint of animale. The broad-shouldered flavors possess superb mid-palate concentration that enrobes the buried but still quite firm tannins while culminating in a beautifully balanced, muscular and explosively long finish. This is also very clearly built to age yet like the Clos St. Denis, there is so much sap that this could be drunk now with pleasure. A 'wow' wine. 95-97 Points/Drink 2026+" - Allen Meadows, Burghound
"Average 60-year-old vines. Where the Clos St-Denis is all concentration, this is all subtlety. Sweet and gentle yet with refreshment value. Reverberation and excitement. Well done. Maybe less dramatic but no less rewarding. 19 Points/Drink 2018-2040." - Jancis Robinson
