NC Cindy Tasting, August 2012 (Chateau WineKnurd): If anything, slightly lighter in color than the 2009 without that trace of red, this one is more challenged on the nose, although without the over-ripe character. The nose is again primarily tropical. Unlike the 2009, this is fairly smooth on the palate, with pear and maybe a little mango. It is light in flavor, though, and just not terribly complex. Overall, even at this price point, I'm not rushing out to buy it.

Moderate yellow colour; interesting aroma, fruity, possibly stone-fruit, and a little floral; intriguing palate, a combination of oiliness finishing quite dry and mineral.

Colore quasi ambrato, frutti tropicali, ananas, banana, mango.
Bocca matura e abbastanza evoluta, morbido, acidità bassa.
Discreto.

Wine Education Service Sicily Tasting (Imperial College, London): Notes of dried papaya, mango, quite sugary. Very dry, and lacks acidity; smooth, some spice, a little bit of peach but a lot of heat.
