Glorious wine, as great as any first growth, with the same intensity and immediate perception of the vintage quality and character. For the owner, and I share his enthusiasm, the best ever. (18.5 points) Score: 18 - 19 Decanter, Decanter.com 01 April 2010 |

Very deep golden, with great tension and excitement and some green streaks, with layers of botrytis over them. Full and deep with intense botrytis. Great stuff! Unspittable, dried apricots (though so much richer than a Tokaji) and great acidity. Score: 19 Jancis Robinson MW, JancisRobinson.com Maturity: 2017-2032 01 April 2010 |

There is a little SO2 on the nose at the moment. The palate is well balanced with a citric entry, touches of apricot and lime, tightly coiled towards the finish with the acidity slicing through the viscous honey fruit with a touch of Tropicana. Again, this is a very focused, tensile Sauternes with beguiling clarity. Score: 92 - 94 Neal Martin, Wine Advocate, RobertParker.com 01 April 2010 |
