["Pale to medium lemon-straw colour. Forward, toasted nut, brioche and warm strawberry nose complimented by a seductive honeysuckle and spice perfume with exotic hints of coriander seeds and candied ginger. The palate is big, rich and very biscuity. Medium to high acidity gives ample freshness without too much edge – highly approachable. Small, persistent bubbles and a long toasty finish. Drink now to 2020. Tasted October and December 2008.- Lisa Brown (03/2009)"]

["Starts out round and plush, then the structure takes over. Light peach and berry flavors prevail as this plays out on the lingering finish. Give it a little time to integrate, but this should develop well. Best from 2009 through 2024. — BS (12/2008)"]
