1 mag - Excellent level and appearance, case banded until inspection, prooftag incorrectly shows Pavillon Rouge, believed 2022 late release

In 2024 and from magnum, an incredibly exotic nose, all Cairo spice bazaar, then Scottish Highland heather! The sheer opulence on the palate stops you in its tracks - pour into a large glass to get the full impact. The juiciness of the fruit is astonishing, with blackcurrants to the fore. The luscious liquorice finish is all-enveloping and totally memorable, the glycerol mouth-coating and the beauty non negotiable. Serena Sutcliffe, MW
