Pale yellow in color, nose of cool floral and lemon aroma. On palate, it is concentrated, slightly sweet and oaky. Aroma of very ripe pear, medium finish, but a very good match for food.

Served double blind. Clearly ripe and forward, I first thought this 2009. Lots of peach and apricot with slightly sweet spice. Good concentration throughout, moderate length. I like the start a lot, the finish slightly less exciting.

Fête de Michel T. au Madre Nez discret. Belle bouche, assez grasse, manque un peu de tension, mais c'est ample, savoureux et assez complexe. Très bon. 92 pts

Brass yellow with green highlights. Slight notes of reduction as well as vegetal aromas all followed by ripe fruit like golden apples and pear. Full bodied with the acidity and fruit unable to match.

Beautiful young wine, with fresh and intense nose that is beginning to develop, nice and round mouthfeel with above average length. Will be a great wine when it grows up.

Un vin qui me plaît moins, simplement en raison de son extrême droiture à ce stade-ci de sa vie. Peu bavard, offrant principalement des arômes d’une très grande pureté de pommes vertes et d’iode. Très minéral. Semble cependant bâtit pour le long terme, avec une structure de qualité pour supporter le tout. 89-90

Good Wine with an Exciting Super Bowl (The Krengels - Bannockburn IL): Rich and ripe apple throughout, certainly easy to enjoy. slightly lacking depth. Good now.

At the very conclusion of its drinking window, this is still tasty but fully mature and lacking vibrancy.

absolument fantastique, vin à parfaite maturité.
Attaque initiale sur les poires et le coing. Longue bouche où se mêle l'accacia et les noix de pin.
wow!

Nez de litchi et poire. Apres plusieurs heures, evolution vers le caramel.
Bouche: Beurre, aubepine et acacia (leger).
Semble à son peak.
