"The initial aroma is of black pepper and steamed broccoli. Following aeration, a bouquet of succulent scents of Brazil nuts, egg cream and light oak resin appear. An oily flavor of bacon is apparent at palate entry; at midpalate the pepper returns with added tastes of spinach, sage and butter. Finishes elegantly yet zestily as the pepper comes to the fore. Best Buy." 90-95 pts.

"The cranberry burst in the opening nosings makes my head snap back; aeration does nothing to tone down the irrepressibly fruity and ripe bouquet. Palate entry features truckloads of ripe, slightly metallic cranberry taste and nothing else; midpalate the cranberry flavor calms down. Finishes fairly well and fruity. Best Buy." 85-89 pts.

"The opening perfume is extremely raspberry-like; aeration tones down the jammy intensity a little as the bouquet turns seed-like. The palate entry is fruity, mildly sweet, ripe and pleasant; at midpalate there’s a slight embers-on-the-tongue warmth that accompanies the ripe raspberry flavor. Ends comfortably fruity and acidic." 85-89 pts.
