Critics Ratings
‘Hints of oak spice add nuance to the classic dried white flower aromas that precede the broad-shouldered flavors that are clean, dry and ultra intense with real drive on the penetrating and discreetly mineral-suffused as well as notably dry finish that delivers stunning length. In sum, this is a big and rich but not massive Bâtard.’ - Allen Meadows, Burghound.com, 93/100 (Jul 2009)
