Score 92/100 · Stephen Tanzer, Vinous, Nov 2009
Pale, bright yellow. Less fruity than the 2007 and more soil-driven, with toast and leesy notes dominating. Showing more fruit in the mouth (citrus and white peach), as well as a fatter, sweeter texture than the '07. Impressively broad sauvignon with real depth.
