James Suckling
This shows aromas of ripe pears and pineapple with honeysuckle, toffee and cooked oranges. Creamy and mellow with a full body, ripe fruit and hints of salted butter at the end. Polished and long.

Wine Enthusiast
The nose of this wine is energetic and complex, with Bosc pear, crème brûlée and chalk aromas swirling. The palate is mineral driven, but the oak framework lends structure and weight to the core of pear, almond skin and dried orange peel flavors. This wine lingers on the finish with hints of grilled bread, vanilla bean and very ripe citrus.
