Notes:

By Stephen Tanzer Stephen Tanzer's International Wine Cellar, Issue 113: March/April 2004 (2001 Domaine du Clos des Lambrays Clos de Lambrays) ($95) Medium red. Subtle, nuanced aromas of smoky red fruits, flowers and minerals. A step up in aromatic complexity and class, with strong soil tones of berries, minerals, underbrush and earth. The wine's solid acidity and strong minerality give it superb definition and inner-mouth energy. Suave, silky and long on the back end, which features very fine tannins. It remains to be seen if the 2002 will express its terroir as clearly as this wine. 92 points

By Allen Meadows BurgHound, (Includes 50% young vines Clos des Lambrays). This is a clear step up with much tighter, more concentrated and reserved fruit and deep, rich, mineral-laden flavors that display superb acid/fruit/tannin balance plus an impressive, and beautifully focused, long finish. Powerful, long and this is extremely pretty. 92/2008-16 (drink 2008-2016) 92 points
