Score 17/20 · Drink 2013-2020, Jancis Robinson MW, Aug 2015

Deep gold. Broad, rich and spicy on the nose. Open. Very sweet and flattering on the nose and then really quite tight on the palate. Lots of layers of interest but quite evolved on the nose. Quite a bit of alcohol on the finish but tight and tense. Some suggestion of richness though not quite complete. Mid to full bodied. Slightly floral note. (JR)

Score 90/100 · Stephen Tanzer, Vinous, Sep 2010

(bottled in March of 2010) Explosive aromas of flowers and mint. Juicy and light on its feet, but with very good intensity to the apple, pear and spice flavors.

Score 16/20 · Drink 2011-2016, Jancis Robinson MW, Nov 2009

This had been racked just before the 2009 harvest. Racy and mouthwatering. Clean, sleek and racy. Not especially intense but with good balance. Lightly spicy. (JR)

Score 88-89/100 · Stephen Tanzer, Vinous, Sep 2009

Exotic aroma of candied soft citrus fruits. Then ripe and superconcentrated, with a nectar-like peach flavor enlivened by surprisingly strong acidity. A chewy, solid wine that's also quite perfumed in the mouth.
