''There was no shortage of praise from our judges for this amontillado. James Fryer of Woodhead 17 enjoyed 'some raisin in the nose, coffee and toasted almond on the palate, earthy character with green flecks and touches of lemon balm, and super-salty, too', while Andre Luis Martins of Cavalry & Guards Club described 'smoked tea aromas with complex lees and caramel, and sour peach, too'. 'Punchy, tarry and powerful,' concluded team leader Sarah Jane Evans MW.' - Sommelier Wine Awards 2018
