Tasting Notes/Food Pairing:
Aromas of fresh-picked mushrooms, sandalwood and apricot blossoms. On the palate, it has an incredible sweet/savory/spicy character laced with anise, and then the long, dry finish brings with it a hint of creamy vanilla. The lasting impression is a big blast of umami savoriness that makes you say, "Wow! Let me try that again!!"

Press:
89 Points, Stephen Tanzers International Wine Cellar, 2007
"Hazy, pale color. Complex aromas of nuts, smoke and mushroom. At once sweet and dry, with a savory quality leavening the wine's fat texture. This boasts a creamy opulence and serious breadth, but the nutty, earthy flavors are all rather low-toned. Rich but almost surprisingly dry."
