July 6, 2022 - In the bouquet butterscotch, raisins, botrytis, orange zest, polishing wax and caramel. On the palate enormously concentrated with honey, beautiful acidity and a great length.

April 24, 2020 - Mature and charming with many years of quality drinking ahead. However, it is not likely to get better with more age. It is in a good drinking window.

November 23, 2019 - 4th Saturday Brown Bagger (T&L's): From 750ml. Pineapple, honey and pear syrup aromas follow through on the palate. Nice; could use a little more acidity in my opinion.

July 19, 2019 - Soft, very sweet, a bit of botrytis, a bit better defined and this would score into the low 90s.
