93-97 points Fine Wine Review: "The wine is 14.5° in alcohol. It shows nervy dark plum fruit that is quite ripe and very dense with slight sucrosity. The wine is quite closed for the moment and seemingly will require a great deal of aging to full maturity. (Feb 2009)"
95 points John Gilman (View From the Cellar): "The 2007 Ponsot Clos de la Roche is very refined and gloriously complex and perfumed this year, without any of the 'wild side of youth' that this vineyard can often show when young. The bouquet is brilliant, as it delivers scents of red and black cherries, plums, chocolate, a bit of venison, mustard seed, coffee and lovely soil tones. On the palate the wine is deep, full-bodied, pure and very sappy at the core, with an opulent attack, moderate tannins and stunning length and grip on the perfectly focused finish. I am not sure that I do not like the last two wines here in ’07 even better than their counterparts in 2005. Simply superb potential. 2017-2050. (Jan/Feb 2009)"
94 points Allen Meadows (Burghound): "(the aggregate size of this holding is a whopping 3.4 ha and Ponsot is easily the largest holder in Clos de la Roche). A magnificently complex nose offers up a mix of both high and medium-toned aromas of mostly red berries but with a panoply of background nuances including leather, tea, underbrush, spice hints, jerky and smoke, most of which transfer to the textured, intense and precise full-bodied flavors that are, somewhat surprisingly, not quite as dense as those of the Clos St. Denis but actually finer (normally it’s the reverse), all wrapped in a hugely long and explosive finish that completely coats the palate with extract, indeed so much of it that this does not seem all that structured yet it will clearly need at least 15 years to be at its best. Note that there was a hair of backend dryness in evidence that I am attributing to the recent bottling. Drink: 2022+. (Jan 2010)"
