“A complex and enticing bouquet filled with scents of ripe red stone fruits and site, layers of spice and barrel smoke. The mineral earthy quality shows a seam of crumbled schist and stone then a fine lees complexity. Delicious, taut, dry and with a core of red stone fruits and raspberry along with some black currant reflect the bouquet adding depth and complexity. Lengthy balanced and well made.”

“Schisty and wonderfully perfumed with a core of red and dark cherry fruits underscored with hints of thyme, mountain herbs, exotic spice, wild strawberry, vanilla, amaro, softly-spoken oak and distant smoked, dried meats. The canvas of fruit is stretched taut over a minerally Gibbston framework here, the leitmotif of tension and release, its travel long and true with a fine tannin architecture and an extended, spicy finish.”
