View All (8)My partner got this as part of a birthday present set. I normally stick to reds so this was out of my comfort zone. It's well made and the finish goes on forever, but the whole savoury aged-cheese thing isn't really what I look for in a drink. Partner loved it though.
11 March 2026Bought this for a dinner party and it went down well with the guests but I'm not sure it's for me personally. The savoury cheese-rind thing on the nose was a bit odd at first. That said, the finish is lovely and long so I can see why people rate it.
6 March 2026This with some manchego and almonds on a Friday night is genuinely one of my favourite things right now. The dry nuttiness just works so well with hard cheese. 20% and you honestly can't tell — dangerously smooth.
