There’s a definite oaky backdrop to this wine, adding spice and toast to the rich baked red apple, peach bit and brioche flavors. An orange blossom accent freshens up the rich flavors and the full but balanced mouth. The long finish is loaded with toasty hazelnut character. ——L.B.(6/1/2011)—— 90

There’s a real richness to this wine, as aromas of butter and cream flood the nose alongside notes of ripe peach and apple. The mouthfeel is as full and lush as one would anticipate from the bouquet, and the finish is long but clean. Drink now. ——L.B.(3/1/2011)—— 89
