Absolutely elegant experience, honeyed kumquat, white peach, persimmon and a perfectly integrated oak component. Wonderfully sweet and palate enveloping, with a richness that won't quit. Will hold another few decades for sure. One of d'Yquem's best showings ever. — 10 years ago
A true Orin Swift representative... Darkly seductive, tooth and glass staining in its massiveness. Unlike other fruit bombs out there, this one actually tries to bring some tannin to the forefront, giving it a bit of intrigue and structure, especially on the finish. Loads of tart dark fruits, balanced well by toasty vanilla and oak. She's a sexy lady... And deserving of a second date! — 10 years ago
Subtle and sublime, with lots of soft berry and spice on the nose, and addition of more allspice, white pepper and smoke on the palate. Finish was silky and warm. — 10 years ago
God I love a good ripasso. Not more than Amarone, but they're usually half the price! This one is gorgeous, lots of very ripe cherry and plum on the nose and palate. The finish is warm and round, with just enough oak from those 12 months in Slovenian botti. — 10 years ago
