Tasted at the winery. (4.5% RS, 8.6 g/l acidity). Reticent nose. Sweet with a touch of honey, ripe apple and pear. Again, a touch of tropical fruit: banana and bubble gum. This has a creaminess to it. Soft on entry. Plush but decent mouthfeel. Baked apples, stone, minerals, nice apricots. Not as unified on the palate as the 09's. Honey and pit fruit pit on the finish. Nose - 4.5/6, Palate - 4/6, Finish - 4/6, Je Ne Sais Quoi - 1/2 = 13.5/20.
