"Pale silvery gold color. Creamy vanilla, delicate spice, banana, and fig aromas. A soft round entry leads to a dryish medium-bodied palate with delicate brown spices, sandalwood, roasted pepper, fig, salt, and exotic peppercorn flavors. Finishes with a long fade of raisin, minerals, and pepper."

"Aroma after the pour is lean and paraffin-like; swirling and additional time in the glass stimulate more expressive aromas of black pepper, sea salt and jalapeño pepper. Palate entry is tight, acidic and keenly peppery; by the midpalate stage, the flavor profile’s sinewy character goes totally dry and spicy. Ends up very trim." 85-89 pts.

"Pale golden color. Aromas of creamy nougat, dates, dried papaya, anise, and pepper follow through on a soft, silky entry to a dry-yet-fruity medium body with cocoa and dried cherry notes. Finishes with a long, smooth and redolent sweet spicy oak and mineral fade. Great vitality and balance." Gold Medal.

"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.

"Bright golden yellow color. Fruit aromas of dried orange peel, crystalized ginger, and honeyed figs and nuts follow through on a rich, supple entry to a fruity-yet-dry medium-to-full body with cocoa, dried cherry and mango, and exotic Indian spice notes. Finishes with a long, sweet spice, pepper, and mineral accented fade. A delicious and flavor reposado that hold everything in fine balance." Gold Medal, Best Buy.
