91 points
"Amber with copper rim. Pungent aromas of red berries, poached pear and toffee, with accents of thyme, honey and dried flowers. Light and fresh, with noteworthy restraint to its toffee- and honey-tinged fruit flavors. Gently styled and ridiculously easy to drink, finishing with a note of raspberry and impressive depth and persistence." Josh Raynolds, Stephen Tanzer's International Wine Cellar (USA), August 2006
