Expert Reviews

96 Points | International Wine Cellar , January/February 2007

Bright gold. Intensely spicy pear, peach and apricot pit aromas, with a strong suggestion of sweet butter. Round and weighty but at the same time juicy, with focused peach and pear nectar flavors enlivened by exotic spice and mineral notes and deepened by honey and fresh cream tones.

Incidentally, along with Roussane, up to...
