94 points Robert Parker's Wine Advocate: "Pineapple and tangerine as well as musky florality and pistachio extract mark the nose and lusciously refreshing palate of Chidaine's 2008 Montlouis Clos Habert, in which residual sugar helps balance electric acidity, compliment its citricity, and reinforce flavors of white peach, quince, honey, malt, and toasted nuts. The aura of truffle oil that many of his 2008s have in common with his 1996s is totally alluring here (and, for junkies, a lot less expensive than an ounce of the real thing!) This becomes richer and deeper as it opens, with a sense of incipient creaminess, yet its kinetics and mouth-watering acidity never flag through a phenomenally persistent finish. Expect this scintillatingly complex Montlouis to be worth following for at least 20 years, and if you do drink it young, be aware that it tastes virtually dry thanks to its residual sugar being canceled by acids and buffered by extract."
