95 pts - Burghound
In contrast to the aromatic expressiveness of the Chapelle and CSD, this is completely backward and even intense swirling coaxes only the most reluctant hints of stunningly complex earthy red and black pinot fruit aromas but that are completely in keeping with the brooding, intense and jaw droppingly powerful and concentrated, chewy and deep flavors that possess a finish seemingly without end. Like its stable mates, this is an exceptionally serious wine of immense depth and one that will also age for an exceptionally long time. BH
93 pts - Vinous
Good deep red. Superripe, slightly decadent aromas of red cherry, leather and underbrush. Plush, fat and large-scaled; a full-blown expression of soil, with notes of smoke and game. This boasts extraordinary sweetness for the vintage, remaining just this side of over the top. Just a hint of nut skin on the finish. Very sexy wine.- Stephen Tanzer (03/2007)
