Dark amber-orange in color, with some chunks of settlement. Incredible intensity. Oh my! Notes of Brown sugar and molasses. Super finish.

Bottled in 1997. Amber orange in color with good clarity. Dusty old nose of wood with some spirits. Incredibly intense caramel, orange, and a touch of espresso. Very long, unctuous finish.

Bottled in 2007. Amber-orange with yellow edges and some fine sentiment. Intense nose of brown sugar and orange spice. Something was a little initially funky on the palate. Unctuous mouthfeel on the mid-palate. The more air this gets though, the more it tastes like something is off with this bottle.

Very dark amber in color with some slight lightning on the edges. Blend of 1948 and 1972 tawny Ports. Intense wood and chocolate notes. An intense, evolving mouthfeel of orange spice, caramel and honey. Wow. Just wow.

Brown-amber with color that runs from the golden yellow center to very clear on the edges. Herbal notes, cut grass, and eucalyptus on the nose. Some slight off notes on the approach but mid-palate resolves to chocolate and a touch of fig. Long finish.

Amber in color, which lightens to a clear edge. Good clarity. Some red fruit and dusty strawberry notes on the nose. Full-bodied, with an unctuous approach. Dried cranberry underlying the unctuous sweetness. A touch of cola on the long finish with a hint of spice.

Orange-yellow in color. Clear with no signs of sediment. The first sniff was reminiscent of the chlorine smell from the public pool. Some air started to tease out tropical notes like banana. Medium-bodied, unctuous mouthfeel with a touch of honey and butterscotch.

Definitely some corkiness on the nose. The pallet is slightly disjointed. Might be slight TCA.

Dark ruby in color with the faintest hint of sediment. Some cinnamon and slight herbal notes on the nose. Full-bodied and well-balanced. The finish, however, leaves a little bit to be desired.
