92 Points | International Wine Cellar , January 2012

(70% roussanne, with clairette and grenache blanc, raised in four- and five-year-old barriques):  Bright yellow-gold.  Ripe yellow plum and dried pear on the intensely perfumed nose, with complicating notes of flowers and herbs.  Smooth and concentrated, offering sappy citrus and orchard fruit flavors and notes of chalk, anise and honey.  The finish shows a refreshingly bitter note and lingers with impressive spiciness and tenacity.
