Critics Ratings

'Extremely rich - like the thickest of cream - but with crystalline structure and acidity still in evidence too. Very deep-flavoured. I may be underrating its likely longevity.' - Jancis Robinson, JancisRobinson.com, 18.5/20 (Mar 2011)

'Subtle dried apricots on the nose. Deep and intense lemon and honey on the nose. A perfect flu remedy. Viscous and full and yet with terrific bright acidity leading to a mouthwatering finish full of orange zest and pizazz. Powerful and very youthful with just a slight warmth on the finish due to the higher than average alcohol.' - Julia Harding MW, JancisRobinson.com, 18.5/20 (May 2009)
