"There's power to this tightly knit version, which displays aromatic floral and spice accents to the flavors of poached pear, candied lemon zest, apple tarte Tatin and dried apricot. Finely textured and creamy, with a base note of smoky minerality that lingers on the finish. Disgorged November 8, 2011 . . . . [Only] 80 cases imported."
