Notes:

Allen Meadows' Burghound; October 2009
A discreet touch of wood sets off pure and quite cool green fruit laced with abundant notes of wet stone and tidal pool hints that are also picked up by the textured, intense and precise flavors brimming with extract on the precise and energetic finish that is at once elegant yet displays the hallmark Valmur austerity. This is impressive.  92-94 Points and Don't Miss!

Wine Spectator Insider, April 14, 2010
($75) Blueberry and vanilla cream, with zabaglione undertones. Full This is intense and tightly wound, offering concentrated lemon, body, with velvety, chewy tannins and a long, sweet-fruit after- apple, spice and chalk aromas and flavors. It keeps building on the taste. Solid and rich for the vintage. Best after 2011.—J.S. palate, changing as it finishes with a flourish of mineral. Very dry and savory. Best from 2013 through 2028.-B.S.   92 Points
