Critics Ratings
‘Rich and unctuous apricot, quince and sundried green apples, lifted by the most pleasing natural line of acidity that also carries the lasting finish. Fruit driven and delicious, the 2005 is actually still mostly primary fruit, with just slight suggestions of honey and crème brulee that will unfold with further ageing.’ – Higgo Jacobs 2020, 96/100
