Jesús Barquín:Light red fading to brick. An alcoholic spike does not ruin the fruit aromas and ripe cherry notes that dominate the palate. Fine and balanced finish. 89

Andrew Jefford:Very clear and light; brightly polished, too. Lots of sweet, dark, raisiny fruits; a smoky touch. Light, graceful, burnished, and elegant; very deft and poised. A lovely stealthy mouthful; chiffonlike 10 Year Old. Even a little acid lift toward the end. Close to the style ideal in many ways, and a 10 Year Old that would take well to chilling in summer. 89

Richard Mayson:Lovely, bright amber-tawny color; fine, fragrant, showing great style on the nose, rich quince-marmalade character both on the nose and palate, soft and seamless, with a vestige of tannic piquancy toward the finish, which is fresh, dry, delicate, and very refined. 95
