Stunning nose. Ripe and kinky. Deep. Lemon cake. Good acidity and freshness and very silky. Great palate presence. Sweet oak that works. High extract. Wood shavings on the nose as well from a woodshop. Silly and sweet. — a day ago

This is exceptional. Lemon oil and greenery. Integrated and slightly smoky. An oiliness in the palate, with a sweetness and intensity. Great freshness but a gorgeous complex mid palate. Great — 10 days ago

Quite pale straw colour . Quite lightly floral with citrus and some yellow fruits . Quite rounded citrus fruits , balanced acidity , creamy texture . Slightly toasty citrus tinged finish . Quite good length and freshness . Drinking well now but I would imagine this can continue well over the next 5 to 10 years — 9 days ago

9.1

Medium copper salmon colour , with wide slightly yellow tinged rim . Toasty notes , with some dried herbs , orange rind , candle wax , toasted almonds , sea breeze, in some ways quite similar to the white reserva. On the palate this is quite intense and grippy again , with a nutty , spiced orange rind , dried red fruit . Good balanced acidity , good volume and decent length . This is ready and drinking well now but will probably last well over the next 5 -8 years, though I don’t see it improving — 9 days ago

9.3

Quite yellow gold colour , wide light lemon rim. Shows quite a lot of development . Quite toasty with roasted nuts , candied citrus peel , candle wax , ginger , saffron, curry powder, sea breeze. On the palate this is structured and quite full bodied with the nutty character , ginger and candied lemon rind , great intensity and grip , salty , balanced acidity and very long and balanced on the finish . Drinking well now but needs time to open , will probably continue at this high level for another 5-10 years and maybe even improve further — 9 days ago

Consistent with previous bottles and notes. Just love the rich, slightly oxidized style of vanilla drenched ripe yellow fruit, cedar and marzipan with a touch of sweetness. Good acidity and complexity. — 9 days ago
