August 3, 2010 - Not bad, but I found it really needed food to balance to decent whack of astringency and acid. With food, very nice.

January 29, 2010 - Really enjoyed this one. Lovely creamy fruit nose with custard apple, necatrine and jersey cream, with a complex palate with nice fruit integrity and a jersey caramel, slightly buttery palate.

August 5, 2009 - This has hd the veritable winemaker’s kitchen sink thrown at it. There’s a strong spicy, oak driven scent that mixes with a little butterscotch barrel work and peachy fruits. It is rich, unctuous and complex in the mouth with good weight without being overly heavy. It has excellent length and whilst stylistically perhaps not my bag it is impressive.
