CRITIC REVIEWS
Alder Yarrow
Light yellow-gold. Smells of honey and sage with crushed stones and nuts. Moderately sweet flavours of honey, orange blossom and other white flowers have a lifted, cloud-like quality and a freshness thanks to fantastic acidity. A phenomenally long finish of flowers and honey turns slightly saline in the end. A tour de force of flavour multiplied by elegance. Effortless. (AY)

Butterscotch, lemon patisserie and peach aromas. Pristine quality to the texture, lively and thrilling, this is a serious, opulent and powerful wine, more on the spiced, nuanced side with aspects of dried herbs, wood scents and bitter lemon and orange with a touch of honeyed lychee. It feels supremely complex and characterful. Sophisticated, layered and balanced with some minerality, a slight graphite edge all of which adds to the whole. Its still extremely youthful but there is real sculpting here, a sense of precision, style and freshness. Well crafted with an extremely long life ahead. A wonder, and one of the best from the estate!
