9.6

Orange rind, tar, tobacco, tea, green and oolong, floral and confectionery, super complex nose. Stunning. 9.7. Soft and sweet but also super structured and tannic. So linear and so pure. Finish is slightly clipped. Good concentration, freshness and depth. So clean. — 3 months ago

9.2

From magnum. Traditional nose of brioche., baked apples and citrus.. In the mouth an acid driven palate but hints of hazelnuts and brioche. My only criticism, occasional hints of alcohol peeked through on the finish. I believe this was non- dosage — 8 months ago

9.0

More of the same aromatic, so we'll balanced that it almost doesn't feel as if it has more stuffing but just radiates an impression of solidity and confidence that seems to demand time in the bottle. — 2 years ago
