91 Points

Sunday, December 27, 2009 - Bright gold green color. Intense nose of stones, roasted nuts, white flowers, citrus and baked pear. Rich and fat but just avoids heaviness with minerally acidity in the mid-palate. The concentration here is admirable and the wines fully realized cooked pear and nut flavors are in terrific harmony. Tough not to love today but I would drink this sooner rather than later as the color and the tendency towards mature flavors do not seem like a recipe for a long cellar life. Very well put together for an 06 and much less ripe and over the top than most others I've tried. Can't wait to try this producer in a more classic vintage like 07......
