92 Points! Medium amber. Gingerbread, orange zest, clove, blond tobacco and honey on the nose. Spicy citrus and poached pear flavors are lifted by zesty acidity and show a gentle smoky quality on the back end. Blends sweetness and dryness smoothly, finishing with good nervy cut, a jolt of fleur de sel and lingering smoke, citrus and spice notes. - Josh Raynolds, Vinous Media
94 Points! Very complex nose of toasted nuts and caramel. Rich and concentrated with excellent nutty aged character. Bright with beautifully integrated acidity drives the long, very elegant dry finish where there are notes of dried bananas and dates. Drink or hold. - Stuart Pigott, JamesSuckling.com
92 Points! Medium amber. Powerfully scented bouquet combines cherry compote, cola, molasses, pipe tobacco and brown sugar. Lush and expansive in the mouth, offering sweet pit fruit and orange marmalade flavors and a deeper note of espresso. Clings tenaciously on the finish, which leaves notes of bitter cherry and candied flowers behind. - Josh Raynolds, Vinous Media
96 Points! Dense and rich with a wide spectrum of baked apricot, caramelized orange and dried date character. And behind this is a huge structure with great acidity that keeps it very straight on the expansive yet energetic palate. Stunning length and nutty complexity at super-long finish. Drink or hold. - Stuart Pigott, JamesSuckling.com
