97 points Richard Mayson (Decanter): "With 40 years ageing in small lodge pipes (casks of around 600 litres), 50% of the original volume has been lost to evaporation: the age is evident in the copper-toned greenish tinge and the sweeter more concentrated style. Demerara sugar and spice with glorious length and richness, yet it still retains some youthful clarity on the finish. This fine-tuned blend of old wines going back to the 1970s is one to sip, admire, meditate and marvel. Drinking Window: 2021-2024. (Nov 2021)"
96 points Wine Spectator: "Dried cherries, plums and candied fruit with some figs on the nose. Light toffee, too. Medium-to full-bodied, very sweet and layered with dried fruit, smoked wood, caramel and hints of stems. Some dried earth and salted nuts. Very complex. Drink now. (9/28/20)"
96 points James Suckling: "Dried cherries, plums and candied fruit with some figs on the nose. Light toffee, too. Medium-to full-bodied, very sweet and layered with dried fruit, smoked wood, caramel and hints of stems. Some dried earth and salted nuts. Very complex. Drink now. (9/23/20)"
95 points/'Editors' Choice,' Wine Enthusiast: "Remarkably, this is able to show age and long cask aging, but the flavor is still here: figs and honey, balanced out with burnt caramel aged acidity and a rich (but not sweet) finish. Excellent, top quality aged tawny. (Nov 2007)"
94 points Charles Metcalfe (The World of Fine Wine): "Toffeed, nutty, sweeter style. Rich, dried fruits on the palate, and it finishes with impressive length. (Issue 62; 2018)"
