Perfumed, complex and beguiling. Golden syrup, toffee and nuts, citrus, raisins, Christmas candy—what a symphony! A glass of this delight was how I ended my recent nose-to-tail dinner at St. John Restaurant in Smithfield, London. — 3 days ago

1st time trying this. Incredibly elegant. Maybe too elegant, at this stage. All rough edges have smoothed out, but hasn’t yet rounded into its older age. Maybe caught this in an in between stage. For the price, it’s up against some very stiff competition. Excited to try again. — 4 months ago

As nice as the Pym-Rae stuff is, would rather drink the ownership family’s red BDX stuff: Château Pontet-Canet (Pauillac) and Château Lafon-Rochet (St. Estèphe). Former is pretty cutting edge stuff and the latter totally underrated, classic and reasonably priced.
