Medium straw-yellow. Lovely perfumed lift to the aromas of citrus peel, nectarine, nutty oak, marzipan and spices. Harmonious acidity gives cut to the nectarine, citrus and sexy oak flavors, with a hint of minerality contributing grip. Still a bit youthfully tight but seems a bit more showy early on than previous vintages. Finishes subtle and long. This was aged in 40% new and 60% one-year-old French oak for a year. 88 pts Wine Spectator 11/12/10
Delivers a tasty mix of green and yellow apple, backed by hints of fig and melon rind on the bright, juicy finish. Drink now.
