94(+?) Points | International Wine Cellar , September 2012

Bright yellow-gold.  Soft citrus fruits, wild herbs and minerals on the nose.  Dense, thick and spicy, but with a softer impression of acidity than the Vieilles Vignes VT giving this remarkably tactile wine a bit less delineation in the early going.  But this extremely primary, lightly saline wine boasts a rising, almost biting finish thanks to a strong crushed-stone element.  Strong stone fruit flavors emerged after four days in the recorked bottle without any loss of chewiness.  Another remarkable pinot gris with a long future ahead of it.  (ST)
