"The finish is beautifully long and complex" - Decanter
"Honeysuckle, apricot and elderflower aromas. Broad but structured on the palate. Rich, golden fruit with a touch of hazelnut in texture and savouriness, a walnut-skin bitterness. Bold and seductive, but dry, with the sensuousness of thick honey stirred into clotted cream. A fine powdering of dried thyme and sage on the finish. Not your average Vermentino." - Jancis Robinson
