A clearly very ripe yet notably restrained nose offers up notes of white and yellow fruit, mango, spice, minerals and soft oak hints only under the duress of aggressive swirling. The massive, rich and exceptionally full-bodied flavors display no such moderation however as they unleash a seemingly full-frontal attack on the palate as the intensity is borderline painful and the finish doesn't seem to stop as I could still taste this an hour later. Speaking of "wow" wines, this qualifies as well. Score: 94 - 97 Allen Meadows, Burghound Maturity: 2021+ 01 February 2011 |

Discreet aromas of apple, pear, peach and iodine, along with some spicy oak. Hugely rich and ripe; as chewy as a solid, showing compelling sweetness and outstanding depth of fruit. The unflagging finish saturates the mouth with ripe fruits and minerals. This baby should age for a long time. Score: 95 - 97 Stephen Tanzer, International Wine Cellar 01 September 2010 |
