Tasting Note: |
Wine Advocate #122 (04-1999) Rating: 89 points Anticipated Maturity:2000-2020
This wine offers an orange, caramel, and honeyed nose with intriguing quince/kumquat fruit flavors, a complex personality, and a low level of glycerin in the mouth. This medium to full-bodied, long wine will be at its peak between 2000-2020. -Robert Parker

Straw-gold; fine oaky nose, peach, honeyed, not overblown; rich, quite intense, oaky, peach, quite good acidity, rather alcoholic which makes the finish a touch heavy and sticky; medium length. |
