"A memorable, full-bodied brut with assertive, complex flavors and a lingering finish. Aromas of fresh bread and toasted walnut are backed up by crisp, full-bore fruit flavors. Drink now. 26,500 cases imported. 91 points" Wine Spectator

"High-toned and floral, with hints of coconut and spice. Firm and lively. Needs a little time to integrate and resolve the fine mousse with the tactile finish. More backward and powerful than most 1999s, this has potential. Drink now through 2015. 29,000 cases made. 91 points" Wine Spectator

"Rich and creamy, with dried berry and dried citrus notes. Well-integrated, with a lively structure, creating an attractive presentation overall. Drink now through 2010. 1,600 cases imported. 89 points" Wine Spectator

"This features floral, candied citrus, pencil shaving and hazelnut aromas and flavors. It's fresh and focused, with a firm structure offset by a mouthfilling richness and a lacy texture. Not a blockbuster, but seamless and seductive in its approach. Drink now through 2010. 93 points" Wine Spectator
