88-91 Allen Meadows - Burghound

"This possesses a nose that is compositionally similar to that of the straight Auxey but offers both a bit more aromatic depth and complexity. There is good richness to the lightly mineral-inflected flavors that possess good detail and fine length on the less obviously rustic finish as the tannins are more fine-grained."

88-91 Stephen Tanzer - Vinous Media

"Bright medium red. Darker and more subdued on the nose than the village offering, showing pure aromas of black raspberry, black cherry and licorice. Rich and dense but also juicy and tight, with firm acidity and underlying minerality keeping the wine's lively fruit under wraps today. Finishes serious and long, with chewy but ripe tannins and good lift."
