"Saturated, powerful and focused fruit of dried citrus peel and a trace of toast merge into massively proportioned flavors that display impressive reserve. Though not as detailed or precise as the Perrières, there is no denying the sheer magnitude of the flavor impact and drive. The intensity builds from the mid-palate and continues on to the phenomenally long back end. Bâtard is rarely an understated wine yet this manages to be both powerful and reserved, almost in the style of a classic Montrachet."
