Score 92+/100 · Stephen Tanzer, Vinous, Sep 2012

Golden yellow. Superripe aromas of yellow peach, ripe pear, nut oil and menthol, along with a whiff of caramel and sweet vanillin oak. Large-scaled, plush Batard with a distinct citrus edge to its pineapple and spicy vanillin oak flavors. Finishes firm-edged but not hard, in need of time in bottle to harmonize. My bottle maintained impressive freshness after three days in the refrigerator.

Two pièces . Rich and broad and barrel chested. This one announces itself. Struts across the palate. Lots of lemon oil and richness. No great finesse but it does the business. (JR)
