'Red-gold colour, aroma of roasted chestnuts, autumn leaves and acorns, followed on the palate by intense and complex tarte tatin, baked custard, dark bitter honey, agave and star anise. Textural and almost grainy quality as it becomes dense with some age. Generous and intense, very long, opening up over time with spicy and complex notes of aniseed, Russian leather and the classic saffron note of Botrytis.' (Tasted in 2022) - Robin Lee, Falstaff.com, 97/100
