Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
The first whiff brings a noseful of sulfur, although most of it blows off on airing. The underlying flavors are lovely, though, suggesting citrus fruits and apple, supported by crisp acidity. Finishes clean and crisp. Would score higher except for the opening smell.

Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
They pulled out all stops on this wine, including barrel fermentation in French oak, and you can smell the smoky, woody notes. There’s also something like burnt honey, and the apple and spicy peach flavors seem overtly sweet. Good structure, but it’s kind of rustic. —S.H.
