Kind of dull on the nose, with white pepper but also a vegetal whiff. The palate is plump, wet and soft, with mealy citrus and green-leaning flavors of canned peas and bell pepper. Not horrible but not all that enticing either; wait for the 2010. ——M.S.(4/1/2011)—— 83

A bit green and ashy, with aromas of green bean, green tobacco and bell pepper. It’s not over-the-top vegetal, but it does deal plenty of green bean and celery in addition to tangerine. As a whole it’s wet and easy on the palate, but it doesn’t have the clarity of flavor and pure fruit that we’re seeking from Leyda and Chile as a whole.——M.S.(3/1/2009)—— 85
