94/100 55

Very attractive wine with good concentrated pear juice and ripe stone fruit flavours. Great balance with a luscious first impression and moderately dry (but not excessively so) finish. Long. Has an appealing purity - like biting into a fresh, ripe pear.

Tasted: Sep 2005    Average price: NZD $27 (~USD $23)
