The restrained but fantastically complex aromas are ripe, pure and elegant, indeed one can simply smell this and be knocked out. Like the Perrières, there are copious amounts of dry extract, which imparts a wonderfully seductive character to the textured and classy broad-shouldered flavors that possess excellent mid-palate fat on the opulent, refined, mouth coating and palate staining finish that is mildly austere as well as hugely long. This will require plenty of patience from those fortunate enough to acquire a few bottles but the good news is that it will live for years to come.

Ripeness of lemon peel and possibly white stone fruits, along with a note of honey, nuts and vanilla. Rich, creamy and mouthfilling and broad. Long and becoming more delicate towards the finish. Rounded and relatively soft though not lacking freshness. (18.5+ Points) Score: 18 - 19 Julia Harding MW, Jancisrobinson.com Maturity: 2012-2020 |

Knockout nose combines stone fruits, iodine, vanilla and flinty minerality, with a pungent pineapple quality emerging with air. Tactile and chewy wine that's as dense as a solid yet manages to retain a lightness. This infant of a Montrachet is most impressive today on the inexorable mounting back end. This is 14% alcohol, from a crop level of just 30 hectoliters per hectare, according to Lafon. Score: 95 - 96 Stephen Tanzer, International Wine Cellar |
