Critics Ratings

'Clear, layered mahogany / bronze with a green rim. Raisins with dried apricots and citrus peel on appealing, mellow, nose, focussed by a little VA. Luscious, sweet entry with good minerally acid core; vivid, apparently youthful flavours, long racy finish.' - Angela Lloyd 2002, 4.5*
