Didier Dagueneau, Pouilly-Fume, Silex 2011
93 points Wine Advocate
A delightfully, pungently intense bouquet of hedge flowers and resinous herbs rises from the glass of Dagueneau 2011 Blanc Fume de Pouilly Silex, anticipating the bittersweet presence of herbal essences and inner-mouth floral perfume that are allied to nut and citrus oils on a dense, subtly oleaginous palate. This finishes with an authoritative sense of grip and I expect it will not only perform well for a decade but benefit from being left alone for the first several years in bottle. (DS) (6/2012)
91 points Int'l Wine Cellar
Light yellow. Lively citrus and floral aromas are complemented by subtler notes of papaya and pear. Firm and vibrant on the attack, but gains flesh in the middle palate, displaying nicely concentrated melon fruit. Focused but in no sense austere. The finish is gently sweet and persistent...
