- 88-91 points - Burghound: "(from a 1.06 ha parcel planted in 1950). This is a bit more aromatically complex if otherwise similar with more volume to the very rich and voluminous flavors that possess a seductive mouth feel that is enhanced by the slightly finer-grained tannins. There is lovely balance and length and overall, this is a more complete effort than the Clos des Hâtes. Drink 2021+" - Allen Meadows, Burghound
