Critics Ratings

'A mature and elegant if ever-so-slightly exotic and ripe white pear and green apple suffused nose is followed by medium weight, concentrated and relatively round flavors that offer excellent acid/fruit balance and impressive if not truly sensational length. This is drinking perfectly now though it should certainly hold for at least another decade, perhaps longer.' - Allen Meadows, Burghound.com, 91/100 (Jul 2010)

'The 1995 has a deep, green-tinged bouquet. The nose is lovely with almond, walnut and a touch of lanolin, underneath some granitic aromas with hints of toffee giving away its age. The palate is nicely balanced with a touch of spice on the entry. Good acidity, very vibrant with touches of orange peel and fresh ginger on the finish. Very fine.' - Neal Martin, Wine Advocate, 92/100 (Nov 2011).
