Score 92/100 · Stephen Tanzer, Vinous, May 2011
Light, green-tinged yellow. Expressive white peach and poached pear aromas are brightened by dusty talc and white flowers. Plush orchard fruit nectar and passion fruit flavors pick up enlivening spiciness and minerality with air, along with a whiff of sweet butter. Leaves firm, dusty minerals behind on the long, sappy finish. I really like this wine's blend of richness and vivacity.
