 Tasted by Simmo20 on 1/1/2023 & rated 96 points: At 16 years of age the colour is outstanding, with green hues still present. Subtle honey, buttered toast and lemon curd on the nose. The magic of this wine is on the back palate, with lanolin and vanilla flavours balanced by fine acidity. A delicate, fine wine that has incredible length, whose peak is incredibly still a decade away. BWOOD (189 views)
 Tasted by Ben Christiansen on 10/25/2012: Lemonade and ocean water combined together and macerated with lavender, sumac and rosemary. Tangy and silky all at once on the finish. (2396 views)
