'Top 50 Spirits 2009', Classic (96-100)/Highest Recommendation, Wine Enthusiast: " Displays pleasant green vegetable (asparagus, kale) aromas right upfront along with a background agave brininess; further air contact stimulates a creaminess that's oily and sinewy. Palate entry is long, satiny, with vibrant tastes of chili pepper, salt and steamed asparagus; midpalate is full-weighted, juicy, sweet, toffee-like and oily. (Jul 2009)"
