91 Points | International Wine Cellar , September/October 2011

Light yellow-gold.  Intense aromas of dried pear, lemon curd, white flowers and candied ginger, with subtle vanilla and beeswax qualities adding depth.  Fleshy, deeply pitched orchard and pit fruit flavors are lifted and braced by a tangy mineral quality and pick up spiciness with air.  Finishes broad and ripe, with very good persistence and resonating floral and spice notes.  This is showing very well now; I'd err on the side of youth here and drink it over the next few years.
