Stephen Tanzer: International Wine Cellar; Issue 96, May/June 2001; 91/100

August 2007

Slightly hazy appearance. Deep, spicy aromas of orange peel and butterscotch. Round, velvety and impressively glyceral in the mouth, with spicy, vanillin oak serving to frame the fat flavors. Already quite accessible.
