Critics Ratings

'A spicy, ripe, elegant and admirably pure nose offers up notes of anise, sandalwood and clove that add breadth to the floral, earth and stone-suffused aromas. There is the same superb breadth to the rich, intense and tension-filled full-bodied flavors that possess excellent power and drive on the seductively textured, muscular and classy finish. As good as the prior grands crus are, there is another dimension present here. Drink 2025+.' - Allen Meadows, Burghound.com, 93-95/100 (Jan 2012)

'Powerful while still fruity, this shows acidity and notes of ripe black cherry and spice. Very structured and solid, this complete, tannin-packed wine is definitely for long-term aging.' - Roger Voss, Wine Enthusiast, 94/100 (Jan 2012)
