95(+?) Points | International Wine Cellar , November/December 2010

($74; 12% alcohol, 64 g/l r.s. and 9.3 acidity) Bright yellow-gold. Singular nose combines flint, yellow raisin, peach nectar, smoke, mint and marzipan. Tactile, saline and soil-driven, with penetrating acidity giving cut to the dense flavors of peach nectar and mint. Almost confectionery in the middle, but distinctly salty and firm on the extremely long finish. This is almost painful today. A superb expression of this grand cru site, with a light botrytis character only adding to its richness and complexity.
