A taut and fine-tuned, yet large-scale, lavishly-oaked white that projects suave appeal and will wow fans of the WTNFO (well-toasted new French oak) style. Lives up to its bold Burgundian pretensions with a lean, angular stance and long, stylish finish. The persistent intense wood leads one to ponder which shines more brightly--the fruit or the classy oak suit it wears. But tasty? Oh, yes indeed.——M.M.(4/1/2005)—— 88
