97 points Bettane & Desseauve's Guide to the Wines of France: "A very precise bouquet of licorice and dark chocolate. The body has a transcendent elegance in a vintage with all of the pitfalls. A practically perfect vinification. It has already surpassed the remarkable 2002! (2011)"

96 points Neal Martin (Wine Journal): "Tasted at the Burgundy 2003 dinner (non-blind.) Another stunning Clos St. Jacques, with an ethereal bouquet of wild strawberry, rose petals, morello cherry and just an overriding, enthralling sense of purity. You could never tell that this was a torridly hot growing season. The palate is sensuous, silky tannins, fleshy, lithe and harmonious, struck through with an effortless quality. Not a wine of power, in fact this is more feminine that expected with natural, wild red-berried finish. Just superb. Drink now-2020+ Tasted April 2009. (11/29/09)"

94 points Bruce Sanderson (Wine Spectator): "Incredibly fresh and vibrant, with a core of blackberry, cassis, spice and mineral aromas and flavors matched by a dense, firm structure. Balanced, yet needs time to integrate. A beam of violet bursts through on the finish. Best from 2009 through 2025. 76 cases imported. (5/31/07)"
