Expert NoteDecember 19, 2005
Rich opulent nose with strong hints of apricots, spicy fruits, honeysuckle and magnolia aromas; soft and smooth in the front of the mouth, with sugary fruits, hints of pine, apricots and dried fruits, nice acidity but not overbearing; silky and soft if a bit short; very perfumed and ripe in the mouth at the end, quite elegant, which compensates for the lack of power. (18.5/20)

Expert NoteDecember 19, 2005
Very perfumed and aromatic nose, sweet fruit, flowers, clover, spices, rich aromas; soft and seductive in the mouth with a wonderful taste of apricots and peaches; quite rich, but at the same time there is an underlying base of fresh acidity that provides a real focus to the wine; soft and actually a bit dense, almost unctuous that is on the edge of tipping over into flabbiness, but the wine is saved at the end with a sure grip on its balance. (18/20)

Expert NoteDecember 19, 2005
Sweet, rich ripe nose with lots of aromas of sugar, sweet fruit, tropical fruits, honey and melon; smooth, rich and ripe in the mouth, sweet of course, but laced with fresh acidity that keeps the wine centered; loaded with fruit, passion fruit and melon flavors; good acidity and spiciness adds complexity to the wine; long finish, mouth-coating and ripe; this wine is loaded and powerful while at the same time maintaining elegance and poise. (18.5/20)
