Andrew Jefford | Still deep-hued for its age, without any advanced bricking. Warm, grainy, attractive and harmonious scents; decorous rather than dazzling, but enjoyable and enticing. On the palate, the wine is beginning to grow reedy, thin out, and slip away, but there is lots of truth to the noble Pinot ideal here, and it will still provide mature, settled pleasure over the next year or two. | 88

Anne Krebiechl | Roasted, caramelized pumpkin and iron- oxide notes hint both at ripeness and richness. Indeed, the palate is dense, but there seems more oak than fruit. The fruit there is offers brief but friendly, juicy glimpses, aided by bright freshness. The tannins are fine and detailed but a little astringent. A rather masculine wine, with muscle that obscures its charm. | 92
