Tasting note: A clear step up with a completely different aromatic profile of wonderfully fresh, amazingly intense, pure and focused white flower and ripe fruit aromas that are followed by detailed medium weight flavors that explode like a bomb in the mouth. This literally stains the palate and the power and persistence are of grand cru caliber. Classy, refined and altogether dazzling with stunning balance. (92pts. AM, Burghound)

Drink: 2008-2016
Tasting note: Pungent, thoroughly ripe aromas of soft citrus fruits and spices. Fat, sweet and large-scaled; this has real dimension. Highly complex and very rich flavors of orange, minerals, hazelnut and spices. Wonderfully aromatic and showy in the mouth, but also built to age. Finishes very fat and very long. This may be bottled without a fining. Thibodaux says the addition of the younger vines has brought freshness and cut, leavening the "corpulence and massiveness" of the juice from the older vines. (92-95pts. ST, International Wine Cellar)
