"This is the first wine to display vanilla notes to accompany the pain grillé influence framing the very ripe white flower and pear aromas that precede concentrated, thick, textured and powerful full-bodied flavors and the fresh if not racy finish. This is an opulent, lush and mouth coating effort that is rather oaky but there is plenty of substance behind the veneer."
