With the colder evenings approaching, these complex and beautifully layered wines make the perfect companions to open before dinner, adding warmth and atmosphere to any gathering.

Critics Ratings

'This was reportedly bottled after 20 years in barrel. Quite wild with some notes of oxidation, its more sherry-like in nature and structure. Savoury and nutty with dried fruit and alcoholic finish with just enough sweetness. Drink soon.' - Roland Peens, 91/100 (Oct 2018)
