Score 91/100 · Stephen Tanzer, Vinous, Mar 2008
Deep red. Redcurrant, smoke, iron, mocha and meat on the nose. Big, rich, smoky and complex, with a layered texture and excellent breadth and sweetness. More soil-driven than fruity, but this wine's balance and broad, supple tannins suggest it will evolve very nicely over the next decade.

Score 89-91/100 · Stephen Tanzer, Vinous, Mar 2007
Good deep ruby-red. Wild raspberry, mint and smoke on the nose. Supple, sweet and solid; less open than the Saucilles but there's plenty of material here. The tannins arrive late and saturate the tongue. Reserved now, and a bit less elegant than the Saucilles, despite the fact that this is Volnay.
