95/100

Stuart Pigott: "This really tastes like a future 1er Cru! A rich and deep wine for the appellation, but with the silkiness and violet aroma I expect here. In fact, you feel like you’re enveloped by violets and black raspberries! Extremely long and silky finish that makes you feel glad to be alive."
