Score 17/20 · Drink 2013-2018, Jancis Robinson MW, Jan 2010
Full and rich and flattering. Lively and a little bit of smoke and oil. Racy and with good intensity. Much better than the other wines from this producer! (JR)

Stephen Tanzer, Vinous
Score 90-93/100 · Stephen Tanzer, Vinous, Sep 2009
Bright pale yellow. Pure but subdued nose offers musky citrus fruits, acacia flower and spices. Very ripe, round, sweet and silky, with aromatic flavors of apricot, wild herbs and linden tea. In a distinctly feminine, open-knit style thanks to its well-integrated acidity ("this site gets plenty of late afternoon sun," notes Fontaine). The suave finish features sneaky persistence.
