Jancis Robinson:

100% Marsanne. `We press the grapes very slowly. Very light débourbage. Very clean juice in 2010. We had to put some of the solids back in the juice because scared that without it the wine could be too skinny. Needed something to stir during bâtonnage.` Greenish gold. ‘Note the bitterness of the Marsanne.’ Smoky and very rich. Low acid but lots of structure. Not quite as exciting as the 2009. A bit hot on the end. They are deliberately retaining spritz. Me? I like it. I like German Rieslings. Long. Drink 2012-2015 16.5 points
