Wine Critics Notes:

Vinous - Score: 88-90 (2003 January)

(I normally taste this just after bottling, but the 2001 was still in tank) Complex, expressive, musky aromas of crystallized yellow fruits and honey. Soft and rich, with lovely fruit and gras. Holds its shape nicely on the lingering finish. "Drink this in the first year and a half or after 20 years," Reynaud advises.
