There is some good depth of flavor to this wine, the strawberry flavors going right through until they meet the tannic core. The acidity balances well, pushing the fruit through the dryness, leaving freshness and juicy fruits.——R.V.(8/1/2008)—— 88

Flavors of ripe blackberries make this premier cru immediately attractive. It is ripe and soft, with a good sense of background tannins. ——R.V.(9/1/2004)—— 87

There's plenty of fat fruit from the over-45-year-old vines that are the source for this premier cru red Burgundy. Round, with a velvety mouthfeel, the wine shows fine depth and dimension, with black-cherry, plum, licorice and toast aromas and flavors. Full and flavorful, it closes with cocoa notes, good length and fine, well-dispersed tannins. Can drink now, but at its best from 2003 on. ——W.E.(11/15/2001)—— 91
