Jancis Robinson Tasted blind. Greenish hint. Intellectual, intriguing nose that’s more evolved than its pair (the 2002). Really classy stuff on the nose. Hint of mushrooms. Great energy, lift and zest. Tight and fresh. A little richness. Very delicate mousse. Dry finish. Krug? 18.5/20 points (JR) Inner quote mark (11/2019)
