Tasting Notes

Vinous Stephen Tanzer - 01 Sep 10
Bright pale yellow-straw. Restrained aromas of ripe pear, lemon, menthol, smoke and spices. Supple on entry, then silky and round in the middle, but with firm acids framing the pear and peach flavors. The finish shows a firm grapefruit pith quality and the balance to age, but this bottling also offers early appeal.
