**** John Livingston-Learmonth: "(casks) nicely dark red robe. The nose has reserves of depth, a flourish of soaked red cherries to come, has its own neat serenity, is nicely curvy. The palate is juicy, and flows well, tasty red fruit central to it; this is a real charmer, lengthens with poise. There is a good pocket of fresh length, the balance is good, and it’s classy. 14°. From spring 2020. 2034-36. (Nov 2018)"
94-95 points Josh Raynolds (Vinous): "Powerful cherry and black currant aromas, along with suggestions of smoked meat, licorice, exotic spices and pungent flowers. Juicy and energetic on the palate, offering spice- and mineral-tinged black and blue fruit, spicecake and candied violet flavors that deepen steadily with air. Closes extremely long, smooth and appealingly sweet, showing real energy and spicy cut to the gently tannic, floral-dominated finish."
