Rounded, spicy wine with only light acidity and more of the lychee and mango side. It is ripe and generous, hinting at a dry core of firmness.——R.V.(12/1/2011)—— 87

Luscious and weighty with good varietal character. Lychee and spiced pear dominate upfront while the flavorful palate exhibits honey and nutmeg. Notes of baked apple pie hang around for quite a while. The spiciness and slight sweetness call for a Thai curry dish. ——W.E.(7/1/2010)—— 88

The gold color and developed, bready aromas attest to the fact that this wine has a few years of age. On the palate, more youthful flavors of honey, nuts and roses are evident. The finish is surprisingly crisp, making it a good partner for drier Asian-fusion dishes.——W.E.(4/1/2009)—— 85
