A rich style of wine, very generous, ripely fruity. The classic pepper character of the grape is rounded out by pear, green apple and lime flavors, as well as a concentrated, textured center. Screwcap.——R.V.(10/1/2011)—— 92

A blockbuster of a wine, the fruit dominated by ripe yellow pears, with hints of honey. Initially, it seems almost too much, but then you taste the juicy acidity. The spice element is as if it came from a shaker, sprinkled over this rich wine. Imported by Domaine Select Wine Estates. ——R.V.(10/1/2009)—— 90

Pears and honey go together in this rich wine. Perhaps the power is too much, but it certainly impresses with its mineral structure, green spices and complex mix of exotic fruits and reined-in intensity. Screwcap.——R.V.(12/31/2007)—— 90
