u. 1t/hs, 3h/ms, 1ms, labels slightly soiled though very good for age, intact metal capsules
This has always been a shining star of the vintage, with a magical quality that it fully retains in 2016. A totally seductive, classy, cedary scent leads to a palate of such succulence and well-bred 'sweetness' and fascination. The texture is caressing, the depth subtle and long-lasting, the reputation utterly deserved. It enchanted all round the table. Serena Sutcliffe, MW
