89 Points | International Wine Cellar , November/December 2012

Bright yellow-gold.  Musky pear skin and peach aromas are complicated by citrus zest, truffle and toasty lees.  Broad and deeply flavored but lively, offering toasty orchard and pit fruit flavors sharpened by juicy acidity.  Becomes spicier on the long, juicy finish, which shows a slightly dry edge.
