Simon Field: Rich walnut nose, parkin and carrot cake. Palate emphasizes the nutty elements: Brazil nuts and almonds. Very complete, harmonious, and satisfying in every respect. 18

Richard Mayson: Reddish-mahogany hue. Quite pungent; high-toned and singed with sweet supple fruit and a hint of peppery tannin. Rich medicinal length with some finesse. 15

Margaret Rand: Simple, quite savory, sweet. Not very interesting. 10.5
