91 POINTS - STEPHEN TANZER'S INTERNATIONAL WINE CELLAR      [Read More]

divider

Green-gold color. Powerful, smoky and leesy, with dense orange, poached pear, baked apple and oak spice aromas. Thick, creamy and suave, the potent orange and pear flavors strongly accented by leesy oak spices and vanilla. Very deep and long on the finish, showing a clinging, oily quality. This needs serious, rich food.
