Allen Meadows - Score: 91-94 (2015 Jan.)

An ultra-elegant if restrained nose features notes of wet stone, earth, sauvage nuances and the cool essence of red berry fruit scents. There is a wonderful sense of vibrancy and intensity to the quite firmly mineral-driven medium weight flavors that possess outstanding delineation on the sleek, highly persistent and complex but notably backward finish. This will require plenty of time.

Vinous - Score: 92+ (2016 Mar.)

Healthy bright red. Reticent aromas of raspberry and smoke are complicated and lifted by hints of curry powder and fresh herbs. Juicy but very tight and backward, showing less mid-palate texture than the Chambolle Sentiers. This doesn't approach the 2014 yet in terms of its range of aromatics, but it's still quite primary today and in need of substantial cellaring.
