93-96 points Jasper Morris, MW: "56% whole bunch but with the principal stem removed. From new wood, 75% in all, no malolactic yet. Really deep noble purple black. The bouquet is very backward at the moment. A huge wave of dark fruit washes over the palate, with surprising elegance given the exceptional power. This will remain a Sylvie style wine more than a classic Clos St-Jacques, but it will be lovely. (Nov 2021)"
94 points/'Outstanding,' Allen Meadows (Burghound): "(from a large 1.6 ha holding of 40+ year old vines). Ripe and airy aromas are comprised by notes of poached plum, fresh tobacco, black cherry and a plenitude of floral nuances. There is fine richness to the notably finer but not necessarily denser medium-bodied flavors that exude a subtle bead of minerality on the powerful, serious, youthfully austere and built-to-age finale. This excellent effort is definitely going to need at least some cellaring before it's likely to be reasonably approachable. Drink: 2035+. (Jan 2023)"
Bill Nanson (Burgundy Report): "(Only just starting malo and also from a new barrel.) A small smoky element from the barrel – a tighter but wide nose – seemingly quite silky. In the mouth, very silky – mouth-filling, very classy wine – it’s not yet about the complexity of flavour but the stance of this wine is on the grand cru level – I expect a great wine. (Jan 2022)"
