Michel Bettane and Thierry Desseauve: More complete than Sigalas-Rabaud: a remarkably complex and varied nose; rich in sugar, very long, noble, and promising. 17

Michael Schuster: Dumb, faintly woody nose; nicely balanced, vital, slender, gently fleshy wine; sweet, moderately concentrated, nice gentle length across the palate, and good light persistence. Exceptional vitality, with well-sustained flavors, but at the moment the vitality is more impressive than the fruit presence. 17
