Sweet fruit on the nose here, baked apples but perfumed too, warm and ripe and rather autumnal. The palate doesn't seem to be the most giving at first, but it slowly opens and unfolds, revealing a polished and perfumed core of apple as the nose suggested. Great structure underpinning it all, fine acids and good grip, over which there is good flesh and balance. A substantial and long finish. Most important of all it is whistle clean. Very good. Score - 17.5 (out of 20). (Chris Kissack, thewinedoctor.com, Jan. 2011)
