96 points Antonio Galloni (Vinous): "Dried pear, apricot pit, spices and crushed rocks blossom in the 2013 Chardonnay UV-SL Vineyard. Here the flavors are vivid, nuanced and resonant to the core. Brighter, saline-infused notes emerge as the wine opens up in the glass. This is another striking Chardonnay endowed with magnificent balance of generous fruit and explosive energy. Readers can look forward to a decade-plus of exceptional drinking. Drink: 2017-2027. (Jan 2015)"
94 points Decanter: "Mark Aubert's Chardonnays are always powerful, rich wines, but the bright acids of the 2013 vintage make this one of his most Burgundian to date. Notes of ripe apple, peach, tart pineapple and smooth crème brûlée introduce a broad, textural wine with impressive amplitude and persistence. Named in honour of Ulises Valdez. Drink: 2017-2023. Alcohol 14.5%. (2017)"
