Amber color but beautiful balance. Hints of honey and citrus in the nose. Perfect match with some spicy, stir fried chicken and veggies. A bit past its prime but still delicious. Long finish. — 9 months ago

Burns Night dinner with rare roasted tri tip basted with Lagavulin. Drinking near fresh with mellowed tannin but bright fruit. Perfect match with the beef and the hint of peat smoke from the whisky added a happy note. Slainte Mhath. — a year ago

9.4

Still tightly wound. Initial impression was all tannin and acid. Decanted and an hour later the fruit came out and every thing balanced out. Beautiful aromas. Wonderful length. We nursed it through dinner and the last glass was worth the wait. Perfect condition. — 3 years ago
