Score 17.5/20 · Drink 2013-2020, Jancis Robinson MW, Nov 2009
Two barriques. Very creamy and rich and not overwhelmed by oak. Though there is a little overlay of spiciness from it. Some florality and clearly superior though not quite the density of some. Very correct and fresh but without enormous intensity. Honey and balance, like a throat elixir. Impressive on the finish. (JR)
