Critics Ratings

'Very fine greenish gold still. Suave blend of evolution and elegance. Some notes of the hedgerow and real lift as well as depth. Lively, piercing build. Very refreshing but not astringent as some 1988s are still. Lovely delicate wine in the mouth but great balance. This would make a very stylish aperitif. Disgorged six months earlier.' - Jancis Robinson MW, JancisRobinson.com, 18.5/20 (Dec 2002)

'Like a well-cut Italian suit. A delicate, firm style, hinting at coffee, ginger, brioche and honey, but very smooth in texture and it holds its intensity through the long hazelnut and truffle finish.' - Bruce Sanderson, Wine Spectator, 94/100 (Nov 2002)
