Very classy, perfectly ripe fruit, savoury nuances, beautiful texture. Clean with a beautiful, tantalising long finish due to a perfect fusion of acidity, texture, flavour and alcohol. RANDALL POLLARD
One more time there is very mild reduction present though not enough to significantly undermine the attractiveness of the mostly yellow orchard fruit, spice, flower and lightly mineral-infused nose. There is excellent size, richness and weight to the powerful, dense and mouth coating broad-shouldered flavors that brim with extract that buffers the complex, highly persistent and notably finer finish. This balanced and classically styled Bâtard should reward 7 to 10 years of upside development. Don’t miss! 94 Points, BURGHOUND, Feb 2011
