Dried apricot and citrus fruit aromas follow through to a full body, with a very sweet and intense palate. Finishes with lots of fruit and spicy nutmeg character. 94-97 points, James Suckling for The Wine Spectator, Online April 7, 2010.
Very tight and taciturn on the nose at the moment, but the palate is very well balanced with vibrant acidity, real clarity of fruit here with a superb, tense, citrus finish that just slices through that pure, heavenly botrytized fruit. This is very elegant, almost understated, but the purity is utterly charming. 91-93 points, Robert Parkers Wine Advocate Issue #188 (Apr 2010).
Bright, pale yellow-gold. Enticing aromas of orange flower, peachy fruit salad and caramel, plus a touch of warmth. Juicy and fruit-driven, with spicy flavors of peach juice, marzipan and ripe citrus fruits. Cleanly made and well-balanced, but offers only modest mid-palate fat and could use a bit more nuance. Finishes moderately long, with a trace of heat. 85-88 points Ian D'Agata for Stephen Tanzer's International Wine Cellar (May/June 2010)
