"Pale yellow. Very ripe peach on the slightly reduced nose. Sweeter and fruitier than the Chassagne, with harmonious acidity giving shape to the round, pliant middle palate. Better fruit and verve here, and more thrust on the back end." -Stephan Tanzer

"Good pale color. Complex, minerally aromas of lemon, ripe apple and wet stone. Broad, ripe and showy, but with underlying stoniness giving the wine good grip. The dry, rising finish dusts the palate with spices and minerals. This has turned out very well." -Stephen Tanzer

"Bright medium yellow. Ripe peach and nectarine aromas complicated by flowers, dusty brown spices and vanillin oak. Ripe and smooth on the palate, with an impression of dusty extract to the peach and floral flavors. This nicely balanced wine shows better flavor intensity and freshness in bottle than it did in barrel but is still in a rather easygoing, approachable style."
