DECANTER 94 POINTS - "Paul Zanetti tends to make two different cuvées from the Clos des Epeneaux, one from younger vines and one from the older, left side of the premier cru, planted between 65 and 98 years ago. The combination in bottle is definitely more than the sum of its parts. This is not a blockbuster vintage for what can be an ageworthy wine, but it's still appealing in a lighter, more approachable mode, with some tannic grip but lots of perfume, finesse and succulent berry sweetness."
BURGHOUND 92 - 94 POINTS - "This is the first wine to display an appreciable level of wood influence on the distinctly earthy aromas of plum, black pinot fruit and violet. Once again, the medium-bodied flavors possess a beguiling texture and even better mid-palate concentration thanks to the abundant dry extract that also serves to buffer the firm tannic spine supporting the balanced and beautifully persistent finale. In a word, excellent."
