"A wonderful and fascinating wine with a tangy sweet and sour character. Full and very sweet, with a dried citrus character and an underlying orange marmalade note. Long and delicious already. Lovely balance for having such a ripe finish. This can age forever, but why deny yourself?" Reviewed 3/20/2013

95 Huon Hooke - www.huonhooke.com

"Light golden colour, still youthful for its age, a beautiful, haunting perfume of honey, malt, vanilla and marzipan, and hints of marmalade. It's not all that sweet, happily. The flavours are complex and intense, with a lot of vanilla, candied citrus peels, honey and almond-meal, with ample sweetness but finishing cleanly, with balanced acidity and a phenolic grip, then a moderately long lingering farewell."

"No tasting note was given."

93 Wine Spectator

"Intense aromas of pecan pie, dried apricot, apples and syrup. Full-bodied, medium-sweet, with a dense mouthfeel of very ripe fruit and a long, powerful and spicy aftertaste. Very, very impressive. Not quite the 2001, but who's arguing? Best after 2010. 6,500 cases made." JS Reviewed 3/31/2006
