...hallmark honeysuckle aromas that lead to tight, backward and vibrant medium-bodied plus flavors that possess real richness, volume and more structure than I typically find yet the balance is absolutely impeccable...

90-93Stephen Tanzer

Very ripe, leesy aromas of peach and smoky oak. Sweet, fat and chewy with extract. Notes of peach, spices and flowers in the mouth. Finishes chewy and very long.
