    Butterscotch and and touch of pine needles. A little bit of burnt caramel also but in general a very elegant wine.
    There is a lovely balance and impressive acidity in this wine but I must admit that I had expected a lot more. Lacks a bit of intensity, length and flavor depth.
    Bottled in 2016.

    Sweet prunes and caramel with a touch of vanilla. Lots of sweetness and a lovely burnt caramel in the aftertaste.
    Very sexy but perhaps a bit to the sweet side. Needs a bit more acidity to score higher in my book.

  • NV S. Leonardo Porto 50 Year Old White 98 Points

    Portugal, Douro, Porto

    Lovely and creamy texture with peach fruit and a touch of coconut and coffee.
    It is certainly quite sweet but has lot of acidity also that maintains a very nice balance.
    Bottled in 2018.

    It is just overflowing with creamy peach and vanilla with a touch of coffee. There is lots of other complex spices but also a huge acidity that is fully able to contain the massive sweetness in this wine.
    What a completely sensational wine! It is absolutely not a shy wine and some could say that it is to much, but for me it is so amazing because it shows so much sweetness and density while still maintaining an outrageous balance.
    Simply a beautiful wine that could easily merit a perfect score with the right mood and surroundings.
