A very pure wine, dry and concentrated with notes of molasses, nuttyness and a hint of sherry-flavour. A touch of VA. Quite a drying finish as you'd expect from verdelho. Fine.
Little bit stinky from newly opened bottle: slightly acetone-like volatile lift blew off after a while. High acidity and rich, intense nose. Quite chocolatey. Very harmonious & round.

Clean, pure nose. Nutty touches of nutmeg and ginge. Great acidity and length. Dry+. Not a blockbuster.

Pale amber-orange colour. Nose not particularly forward, however much more giving on the palate. Notes of christmas cake and nutmeg. Drying finish.

Medium deep mahogany colour. Intense nose of rich, fruity christmas cake and nuts. Very elegant and perfectly balanced. Very long finish. Delicious.
