  February 10, 2024 - Received as a gift. Opened for #tawnytuesday. I was really excited to try this one because I haven't had many white Ports. Beautiful amber color. It's gorgeous. On the nose, initial baked apple gave way to apricot, honey and citrus. On the palate, wow. This is nothing like I expected. It's dry. Like really dry. This is a Port??? Apricot, grapefruit pith and honey. That pith note almost reminds me of a gin and tonic with a twist of lemon. Insane acidity. And the honey note really adds something nice. This is really unique!!!!

  July 21, 2020 - Medium amber/cognac in the glass, moderately aromatic nose with creme carmel, hazelnut, palate is dry and a bit oxidized, complex and interesting, cinnamon baked apple, apple cider, hint of citrus zest, acidity is high, hint of a constant comment tea tannin, full bodied lively mouthfeel, finish is long.

  March 2, 2017 - Dalva White Vertical (P81): Lovely floral complexity with a fine sweetness. Some varnish and a medium aftertaste.
  Lots of elegance and overall a good wine.
