Wine Advocate 93-94pt

Space limitations preclude including tasting notes. 2002 was an average vintage.

by Wine Advocate, 2005
Wine Spectator 92-94pt

Lemon, honey, mineral and light spice. Very attractive aromas. Full-bodied, with fresh acidity and a long finish where it turns to spice and toffee. Score range: 92-94

by Wine Spectator, 2003
