Tasting note: Deeply pitched aromas of clove, iodine and charred oak, lifted by white flowers. Lush and fat but with terrific verve. The elegant side of Montrachet rather than simply big or powerful; in fact, today this comes across as less powerful than the Perrieres. Very fresh flavors of pear, iodine and flowers. Finishes supple and extremely long. (93-96pts. Steven Tanzer)
Tasted: Sep/Oct 2006
Score: 93-96

Tasting note: Sublimely complex aromas of white flowers and citrus wrapped in a gentle hint of wood spice introduce sappy, powerful, mouth coating and classy flavors of superb density and weight, all wrapped in a finish that delivers simply huge length. This is a big wine yet everything remains perfectly balanced, impeccably focused and at present, the finish is linear, which is unusual for such an imposing effort. In a word, extraordinary. (93-96pts. Allen Meadows, AKA “The Burghound”)
