"The bouquet features zesty aromas of green chili peppers and asparagus with touches of vanilla/oak, palm oil and almonds. The palate entry is sweetish and oaky; at midpalate a delicious buttery taste underpins flavors of oak, light spice and sautéed almond. Finish is elegant, long and satiny." 90-95 pts.

"Initial aroma of wax paper and black pepper; aeration stimulates scents of asparagus, broccoli, new leather and herbal butter. The palate entry is spicy and semisweet; the midpalate adds subtle tastes of butter, steamed green vegetables, white rice and light toffee. Finishes satiny smooth and appealingly spicy. A tour de force in balance and harmony." 96-100 pts.
