RATINGS

96The Wine Advocate

...deeply impressive nose...honey, nectarine, peach and marmalade-scented nose. The palate has an unctuous mouthfeel, but the tension here is second to known...plenty of apricot, white peach, honey and a touch of spice...

95Wine Enthusiast

...remarkably well-balanced, knock-your-socks-off effort, loaded with lush, seductive notes of honey-drizzled apricot, peach preserves, baked apple, orange oil and honeycomb...full and unctuous, but not flabby, with beautiful lifting acidity that keeps the palate fresh...long, sticky finish boasts a gorgeous honeyed spice flavor.

93Wine Spectator

Unctuous and intense, with maple, date, dried orange peel, clove, cardamom and singed ginger notes all coursing along, backed by a hint of green tea on the finish.

93Stephen Tanzer

Seriously ripe but vibrant aromas of fresh peach, orange marmalade and rose petal. Moderately viscous and very sweet but with surprising lift to the highly complex, lightly salty flavors of peach syrup, rose petal, clove, botanical herbs and toffee.

17Jancis Robinson

Very appetising and toasty nose. Tastes relatively soft and sweet – apricots – a bit like Tokaji with extra sugar. Not that dense but very sweet and very charming, complex nose.
