The Real Review, 1 June, 2019
Full yellow colour, buttery, honeyed and slightly rancid aromas, the oak not overdone. The palate is soft and round and almost a little flabby, but retaining enough freshness to keep its liveliness. It's quite forward. There's a little alcohol after-heat, which affects the balance a little but it won't worry devotees of the style. Powerful, rich and full-bodied.
