95 points/'Outstanding,' Cameron Douglas, MW (Decanter): "A sophisticated, pure and silky textured bouquet with scents of fresh peach and red apple, salty air and a clay stone mineral quality. The oak seam is noticeable, but not overdone with a raw nut and baking spice complexity. A powerful satin texture touches the palate first contrasted by a core of fruit, flavours of new and mild toasted barrel, refreshing acid line and lengthy complex finish. Drinking Window: 2022-2030. Alcohol 13.5%."

93 points James Suckling: "Wonderful aromas of sliced cooked apple and lemon with vanilla and toasted-coconut undertones. Full-bodied, creamy and round. Layered. Subtle peach pie at the end. Drink now. Screw cap. (11/9/21)"
