Score 91/100 · Drink 2018-2026, William Kelley, Wine Advocate, Aug 2018
The 2016 Mâcon-La Roche-Vineuse Les Cras unfurls in the glass with aromas of nutmeg, green orchard fruit, mint and vanilla pod. On the palate, it's medium to full-bodied, with more texture and depth than the Vieilles Vignes bottling, displaying attractive stony tension at the core and concluding with a long finish.

Almost painful tension! Exciting stiff with refined, fully ripe fruit and even a spicy overlay – as in some curry spice rather than a baking one! (JR)
