Score 92-94/100 · Stephen Tanzer, Vinous, Mar 2004
Red-ruby color. Penetrating, pure, highly complex aromas of raspberry, minerals, flowers and pungent spices. Wonderfully urgent and intense, with the mineral and pungent spice elements carrying through on the palate and giving the wine superb lift. Tightly wound but already showy. Finishes very long and nuanced, with fine, ripe tannins. From a selection massale planted in 1957. Very impressive.

Cask sample. Intensely fruity nose – a rich cocktail of red fruits. Lots of racy acidity. Not desperately deep flavoured but quite sophisticated – a very pretty Grand Cru. (JR)
