"Shows fine density, even a slight astringency. Ripe apple and peach flavors are rich and persistent, with vanilla and mineral notes emerging on the finish. The long, expansive finish reveals its potential. *Top 100 Wines of 2005* (BS)"

" A fully mature yet still attractively fresh nose features notes of citrus, green apple, white flowers and wet stone. There is really lovely intensity to the beautifully delineated and mineral-driven middle weight flavors that offer superb length on the citrus-tinged finale. This sleek effort has now reached it apogee though it should be capable of holding there for another decade. Tasted twice recently with consistent notes. (8/2015)"
