"Light yellow. Smoky scents of buttery apple and pear, with suggestions of nutmeg and fresh thyme. Full and thick on the palate, showing ripe apple, buttered bread and a whiff of cherry that lingers through the finish. The weight and richness of this cuvee suggest that it would be better at the table than as an aperitif." -Rated 86, Stephen Tanzer's International Wine Cellar
