95 | Pale amber/brown with green hues. Fresh rose petals. The palate is fresh and intense with dried mandarin peel flavours. I really enjoy the energy and the complexity.

87 | Full tawny-brown amber. An old unfortified muscat. Old shoe leather and died fig/oxidised fig jam aromas. Palate is unctuous but the fruit flavour is tired. The taste of marmalade that's gotten too old.

88 | OX, ambrosia, old butterscotch and dried fruit cup, bruised apple skin and smoke, volatile, it has seen better days, but still, a fun curiosity.

88 | Amazing colour and could have been so much fun but unfortunately there's a varnishy/shoe polish character that dominates? Engine oil. Caramel, slightly bitter?
