Critics Ratings
‘A more subtle touch of wood sets off the lightly spiced floral, green apple, white peach and pear aromas that lead to very pure, detailed and stony medium weight plus flavors that possess superb intensity and huge length on the mouth coating finish. This is presently quite understated and does an impressive job of blending power and finesse in a package of impact without heaviness.’ - Allen Meadows, Burghound.com, 94/100 (Jul 2009)
‘This has evolved more slowly than I originally foresaw with its lightly spiced floral, green apple, white peach and pear aromas that lead to very pure, detailed and stony medium weight plus flavors that possess superb intensity and excellent length on the mouth coating finish. As it was originally this remains quite understated and does an impressive job of blending power and finesse in a package of impact without heaviness. To my taste this is still very much on the way up and I would be inclined to give this another 4 to 6 or so years of cellar time.’ - Allen Meadows, Burghound.com, 93/100 (Jul 2015)
