THE WINE ADVOCATE 96 points - Drink Date 1999 - 2030 - "The Quarts de Chaume displays honeysuckle, liquid minerals and touches of almond paste aromatically as well as a stunning, driven character with virtually perfect harmony and balance between its sweet super-ripe fruit and acidity. This floral and quince-laden, well-delineated wine has a seemingly unending finish. Anticipated maturity: 1999-2030+." - Pierre Rovani, 10/97
