RATINGS

94Jeb Dunnuck

91-92Stephen Tanzer

... Deep, ripe aromas of dried nectarine, peach and spices...silky and energetic, conveying a sappy character and an elegant texture. Finishes with sneaky length and a lemon zest dustiness that leaves the palate refreshed...

...layered nose of essence of pear and variety of floral scents. The rich, opulent and very rounded medium-bodied flavors brim with dry extract that buffers the moderately firm acid spine supporting the solidly persistent finish that also exhibits a hint of bitter citrus.

... Creamy green floral notes – very crisp yet with sufficient fat. Well done. An attractive whole.
