January 23, 2024 - The caramel color hinted at what to expect, but undersold this beautiful bottle. The nose was an immersive experience in a baking spice cabinet, with lingering notes of caramel, sugared-plums, figs, vanilla and more cinnamon & nutmeg! When I could pull myself away from the glass and actually taste it, the cascading rich notes of fruits and cake were heavenly. Some acid helped to keep this clean and elegant, such that it didn't end up being cloying or heavy in the least bit. 129 years of near-perfection. Thank you, Ryan!

January 16, 2024 - Complex and deep with toffee and caramel notes dominate. Acidity balances the sweetness. An amazing, ancient wine worth seeking out.

February 3, 2016 - Madeira Pilgrimage; 2/1/2016-2/4/2016 (Madeira): One of my favorite wines of the trip. What a stunner. Aromatically, I get old leather, cigar lounge, brown sugar, musk, eucalyptus and floral potpourri. Full and so complex but the brightness is incredible. Flavors of musk, leather, library dust, clove, cinnamon and coffee. But it's still so vibrant with these elements of orange marmalade, cocoa and white flowers. So long and pure. Whoa.
