WINE ADVOCATE –30 OCT 2008 – N°179 – ROBERT PARKER

(90-93) – it boasts beautiful density and purity as well as stunning aromatics and a full-bodied, multi-textured style. The freshness and vibrancy achieved because of the cool, exceptionnally dry growing season is well displayed in the beautiful, almost Burgundian-like perfume, but the wine possesses the strength, power and substance of a southern Rhône. Drink it over the next 15 years.
