95 AM " A mild touch of toast sets off wonderfully complex and elegant aromas of white flower and citrus that remain largely if not completely primary in basic character. Likewise, there is still plenty of vibrancy and intensity to the gorgeously pure and well-delineated medium full flavors that seem as though they're chiseled directly from solid rock. This is much more mineral-driven than the typical Bâtard, and blind I might have mistaken it for a classically styled Chevalier. There is plenty of punch and racy supporting acidity plus simply knockout length. Of all these impressive attributes though, it's the stunning purity and overall harmony of expression that make this one of the greatest examples of Bâtard from the 2001 vintage. . ."
