Ultimate Beverage Challenge 94 points (Mar 2012) The nose is rich and robust with scents of honey, peach, crème brûlée, and vanilla. The palate echoes the nose being lush while lively with zesty, citrus like edges that emerge on the finish. Texturally perfect this wood finish really works ideally marry  Wine Enthusiast 96 points (Nov 2008) Smells of smoky, burnt nectarine, apricot and buttery scents that are toasty, nutty and heavenly. Entry is chewy, viscous, concentrated and intensely honeyed; the midpalate is waxy, mildly spicy, jammy, nutty and utterly decadent. Finishes with panache and grace. — P.P.

Huge jammy, sweet aromas leap from the glass; taste profile highlights flavors of sweet wine, oaky tannins, prunes and dried herbs; luscious.
