"A reserved, pure and refined citrus and acacia blossom nose displays secondary nuances of pear and white peach aromas that merge into rich, concentrated and very powerful full-bodied flavors that possess a superb level of dry extract plus a strikingly long and explosive finish that really stains the palate. This too finishes bone dry and will require extended cellar time to reach its apogee. Impressive."

"Musky, precise aromas of citrus fruits, quinine and iodiney minerality. Surprisingly rich and layered following the refined nose but this very suave wine boasts plenty of energy and lift to its flavors of pear, white flowers and crushed stone. Really echoes on the long, scented back end. These vines are 71 years old and those in Batard are 74, according to Cournut."
