"Smooth and creamy, evoking lemon pie, spice and hazelnut notes. The seamless structure adds to the cohesion, while quietly holding all the elements together. Has terrific length, with a citrus and spice aftertaste. Drink now through 2018. 60 cases imported. —B.S."

Mike Supple, JJ Buckley
"A lot of flint under a nose of lemon, light green apple and ripe peach all surrounded by a lofty toasty oak. Fairly bold and thick in the mouth with ripe lemon, green pear and stone fruits leading to a fresh, zesty finish."

"(25+ year old vines aged in 25% new wood). An expressive nose of very ripe
yellow orchard fruit and acacia blossom aromas that also reflect mango and apricot nuances to the middle weight flavors
blessed with ample dry extract that confers a textured mouth feel to the palate staining finish. This is quite ripe yet remains
cool, balanced and refined."
