"The extraordinary white Hermitage Cuvee de l'Oree is mindboggling in both 1995 and 1996...Made from 100% Marsanne from extremely old vines...Both possess extraordinary intensity full body the multi-layered texture of a great Montrachet and intense honeyed mineral-like fruit flavors that ooze over the palate with remarkable richness yet no sense of heaviness... Both should drink fabulously for another 2-3 years and then shut down for 10-15 years. Both wines should easily last 40-50 years - assuming excellent storage." 97 Points Wine Advocate
