88 Points | International Wine Cellar , November/December 2010
($24) Pale greenish-silver. Ripe fruit salad, lime, anise and a touch of minerality on the nose, along with a suggestion of candied fruits. Juicy, ripe and intense, with decent peppery lift to the middle palate, but slightly warm in the style of the year and in need of more lift and definition. I find this less refined in its texture than usual for this bottling.
