Wine Spectator Review:
Tight and linear, this white features lime blossom, citronella, apple and butterscotch notes. Intense and full of energy, with a lingering aftertaste of spice and mineral. Best from 2013 through 2022. 100 cases imported.

Tanzer Review:
Restrained aromas of peach, minerals and stone, with a touch of oak. Round and ripe in the mouth, with a dominant flavor of yellow peach and some subtle stony soil tones. Not quite as harmonious as the Clos Saint-Jean today, but there's very good acidity here. In fact, this rich wine would come off as heavy without its firm acid spine.

Other Notes:
An expressive nose of ripe peach, pear and apricot aromas is nuanced by hints of citrus before marrying into rich, full and seductively spicy flavors that are perhaps a touch less elegant than usual though there is fine finishing depth and length. Burghound - Outstanding, 91 points
