Score 17/20 · Drink 2004-2020, Jancis Robinson MW, Dec 2002

Very firm, almost strident nose with a hint of both pastry cream and green apples. Masses of acidity still. This one will run and run and is still in its shell in a rather stiff military way (British not American, ie, crusty old colonel not Colin Powell). To be cellared still. Still quite tight. (JR)

Score 92/100 · Stephen Tanzer, Vinous

Flamboyantly rich aromas of orange zest, nut oils, toast, toffee, mushroom, macadamia nut, underbrush and bonfire. Large-scaled, superripe and very rich, with a wonderfully seamless, pliant texture and a deep hazelnutty quality. Huge, slow-building, thick finish hints at great ripeness.
