Without doubt the greatest sticky I’ve ever tasted. I nosed it for 30 mins, it was so clear and bright with tropical fruit and light stony minerality. The apricot and mango were lifted over my palate by actual angels who may’ve swiped a taste on the brief journey. Wish I could’ve sat up with a last glass all night, thank you Lenny. 🙏🏼

Gorgeous lemon tart, creme brûlée. This is luxurious, poised and sexy. All kinds of wonderful and detailed. Wow.

Deep honeyed start. From a split so a little advanced. Hints of orange rind, sweet and deep and complex

It's right what you have read. Liquid gold for sure. All the right cues of apricot honey and stone fruits that bring this all through the minutes of finish.
