Press recommendations: 'Pale orange. It smells like the rock of the centuries. So glorious in terms of transparent nobility, fully ripe, exciting in a glass. Where else in the world could you find such a mature wine for this price? Clean as a whistle. Medium-bodied, deliciously dry and with so many years in barrels to produce these layers of flavor.' - Jancis Robinson MW (Financial Times, April 2021) 'This is an amber-hued beauty, with delicate, delicious nutty tones and added complexity due to the 12 years it has spent aging in wood. A great wine. (Decanter Magazine, June 2014) 'Bright pale orange. Magnificent life and excitement and age. Only not too old but absolutely fabulous for the money. Totally dry, light and fresh, while having a deep and resonant taste.' - Jancis Robinson MW (Purple Pages, December 2013)
