A bit fleshy and melony on the nose, and also flowery. The palate has a full feel despite present acids, and the apple and citrus palate is clean and slightly green. Shows all the basics on a sweet, soft frame.——M.S.(8/1/2011)—— 86

Yellow-ish in color, heavy on the nose, more oily than in the past, and with an aroma of cheap perfume. The wine has high acidity, a zesty bite, but not much in the middle, and thus the flavors of mango, melon and papaya are wan. Good for quaffing but not on a par with previous years.——M.S.(5/1/2010)—— 86
