The round, delicious and nicely textured medium weight flavors exhibit focused power on the reasonably complex but highly persistent finish.

88-90Stephen Tanzer

...aromas of lemon, lime, menthol, white pepper and herbs...surprisingly smooth in the middle palate, showing good intensity to its flavors of pear, peach and menthol.
