Light and fragrant in the nose, with a hint of lemon and canned pineapple. The palate seems rich and creamy, partially a result of age but also due to relative low acidity. In the mouth, there’s banana, papaya and cinnamon, while the finish is nicely textured and rich (again a result of maturity). All in all, there seems to be more coconut and tropical influences than verve. As a result, it’s a bit flat. ——M.S.(9/1/2003)—— 86
