Essi Avellan: Deep golden color. Overt, round, soft nose of toffee, brioche, honey, and spice. Voluptuous on the palate, with enough freshness to support the weight. Well made, clean, and muscular. Ready to drink, but there is enough fruit for a further five years of maturation. 17

Michael Edwards: Lovely expression of the same house style but in a minor key. 17

Tom Stevenson: Beautifully perfumed, fresh, chewy fruit finish. An absolutely pristine bottle? NS
