Score 95+/100 · Stephen Tanzer, Vinous, Sep 2004
(aged in 100% new oak, like the Chevalier-Montrachet) Steely, penetrating aromas of minerals, crushed stone and vanillin oak. Wonderfully dense and broad, with a dusty, tactile texture and powerful underlying spine. Shows a superripe note of crystallized pit fruits, but the wine's powerful acids give it great precision and penetration. A great young Corton-Charlemagne.
