92 points from Stephen Tanzer's International Wine Cellar: "Yellow-gold. Idiosyncratic aromas of lime, hazelnut, lees and Chartreuse, with a stony mineral underpinning. Deeply concentrated citrus and peach pit flavors are complicated by brown butter and botanical herbs, with a strong licorice quality carrying into the finish. One of the most unique wines I've tasted in a long time, offering depth, vivacity and vaguely oxidized dried fruit character reminiscent of a old-wave Italian white wine or something from the Jura. Emphatically different and not for everyone..." (03/08) So critic Josh Reynolds from Stephen Tanzer's International Wine Cellar has wonderful things to say about this St-Veran, but he does describe this wine as "not for everyone." I definitely agree that the wine won't touch everyone the same way, but it most definitely is a wine for fans of rich, vibrant, mature-styled whites. Aromas of roasted hazelnuts, citrus rind, white flowers and chalky minerality - what's not to like about that? The wine also has a wonderful streak of acidity that keeps it focused and a long lingering finish with a hint of wood spice. Yes, this wine is an idiosyncratic adventure, but like most Burgundy of this kind, it is a journey worth taking. (Keith Mabry, K&L Hollywood)
