Review by DaveLamb
tropical fruits, spice hints, combined with Sherry character(LPCH is same). Nice light Long Pond, again my favourite blend, a hint of sherry's finishing through the barrel adds to the wine's luster.
Review by Anders Bovien

Review by Lukas Jäger
Tasted on the brilliant Spree tour with Kirsch for the 12th GRF: A little disappointing, not very aromatic and almost a little thin. Would have deserved a second chance with more time and air
Review by Martin Švojgr
smells better than it tastes. Old LP raped sherry
Review by crazyforgoodbooze
great stuff in principle but really a pity why you have to put something so noble 6 years in sherry barrels. unfortunately also relatively quickly gone and not particularly present. Unfortunately, sherry dominates for the most part...
