97 Points
Thursday, August 29, 2013 - Good nose, sweet fruit and quite floral. Stunningly complex palate; this wine is like a good counter-puncher - you mentally tag it and before you can react, it's hit you with another aspect of fruit, and everything all in great balance. Best just to let it wash over you, inwardly. I'm rating this wine higher than everybody else, it looks like, but if we're going with a 50 to 100 point scale, and if it's linear, then at 97, that would mean that 6% of wines would be better - and with that in mind, perhaps I should give it a 98.

But this Bâtard-Montrachet: "more, more" is just it. Ooh, I could drink quite a few glasses of this.
