Reviews:

93 / 100 Cameron Douglas MS
Calm bouquet with pure yet softly spoken scents of nectarine and apricot, vanilla, peach and apple. Some toasty wood and light smoky moments. Dry, warm, creamy, elegant and well made. Plenty of weight, medium acidity, flavours mirror the nose with soft wood tannins adding structure and depth.
Best drinking from today and through 2023/

A bold style, it is fresh and full-bodied, with peachy, citrusy flavours, seasoned with biscuity oak, good complexity and a slightly creamy texture.
