Wine Critic Reviews
An exotic, flamboyant bouquet of orange marmalade, honeyed citrus, caramel, coconut, and pain grille soars from the glass of this well-bodied, potentially outstanding effort. In the mouth, it reveals an unctuous texture with tangy underlying acidity, medium to full body, and gobs of fruit. Anticipated maturity: 2004-2020. (No tasting note was provided in Issue 128. We have instead included the text of the tasting note from Issue 122)

Attractive nose combines exotic fruits, honey, roasted grain and marzipan. Intensely flavored and juicy; a strong citrus quality gives the wine a firm edge. Falls down a bit on the finish, which betrays a slight bitterness.
