Acclaim
“This has a distinctly nutty nose with cooked apple and marmalade on toast. It’s full-bodied with firm texture and a very long finish. Toasted-walnut, smoked-almond and jack-fruit notes linger. Wax and lemon-curd undertones, too. Such depth and length.” 
— James Suckling, Nov 2020
“Evolved but attractive bouquet. Great texture and concentration on the palate; plenty of stone fruit flavours. Long finish.” (Silver Medal)
— Decanter World Wine Awards, Sep 2020
