Robert Parker's Wine Advocate: Pure perfection, the 2010 Hermitage reminds Jean-Louis Chave of their 1990. It appears to be a richer, fresher example of what I remember the 1990 tasting like in 1992. The wi...

Stephen Tanzer's IWC: Bright pale yellow. Extremely closed nose hints at gunflint and menthol. Dense and pure on entry, then as powerful as a solid in the middle, with explosive lift to the flavo...

Stephen Tanzer's IWC: Bright yellow. White peach, licorice, clove, honey and hazelnut on the nose. Smooth, thick and sweet but with serious, harmonious acidity giving shape to this highly concent...

Jancis Robinson: A very powerful nose that soars out of the glass. Heady and mineral. Honey and beeswax. Hugely attractive in 2010. Racy and unique with massive undertow of richness. Should ag...

Burghound: Strong reduction again precludes a satisfactory examination of the aromas. By contrast to the funky nose there is excellent verve and freshness to the concentrated, detailed a...

Jancis Robinson: From Corton-Paulands. Dark crimson. Not much nose. Very sweet and firm and with just a hint of oak but very ambitious and tight. Admirable.
