Jennifer Havers rated this wine as 87/100 with the following review:

Aromas include fresh buttered bread, apple, and some toasty notes. A bit of a oaky flavour comes through with lemon and apple on the palate. This wine would be great with roasted chicken, or maybe bacon wrapped scallops.

Craig Kuziemsky rated this wine as 87/100 with the following review:

Smoke and buttered toast on the nose giving way to apple, pear and some butterscotch on the palate, with a smoky body that lingers throughtout the taste.

Sean O'Regan rated this wine as 87/100 with the following review:

Pale gold, honeydew, green pear, dusty minerality. Medium body flavours of apple, green pear, some butterscotch, a little spicy and a bit of heat from alcohol.

Intriguing nose of ripe pear, pineapple, vanilla and touch of smoke. Repeats on palate. Well-balanced, long ripe pear finish.
