September 5, 2018 - Superb and beautifully balanced. Drank over two nights and probably better on the second night.

May 21, 2017 - Enjoyable but think I preferred the bottle I drank previously. Lemony and a thirst slaking finish.

August 28, 2016 - Opened a bottle last night, the first in two years. It’s quite approachable straight up, with white peach and nectarine and nutty flavours. However it does have a prominent grapefruit/lemon pith flavour, which adds to the complexity but is a little unpleasant for mind. Day two and the stone fruit is more golden and there’s some tropical notes. It still has a pithy note but it’s more in context and the length is amazing.
On reflection I don’t know whether that grapefruit note will ever resolve itself, but I don’t really care. Difference is good and I’m looking forward to following the progress of my remaining five bottles. -

April 17, 2016 - Uncut nectarines, barley, ginger, cap gun smoke, grapefruit, touches of cashew, lime. Complexity plus. Some lactose-ish body. Excellent length. Best enjoyed at 12 degrees and warmer, for my tastes. 93+
