96 AM. "I was clearly too conservative in assessing the development potential of this wine as it has surpassed my expectations. The pure, cool and classy nose features notes of spice, white flowers and ripe peach and pear and is followed by backward, intense and firm medium full-bodied flavors that are powerful and focused on the hugely long finish. This is still austere though no longer severe and it will require ample additional patience to allow it time to further flesh out and realize the huge potential the underlying material clearly has. A spectacular Montrachet that should age for several more decades if desired." Burghound.com, Nov 22, 2010 |
