November 14, 2022 - Medium sweet characters with flavours of burnt bitter orange marmalade, roasted nuts and coffee. Saline and mineral with super acidity, an extraordinary bitter sweet character and a never-ending finish. Very impressive. 93pts

July 3, 2021 - Burnt sugar, burnt toast, rum, eucalyptus, cardamon, pear on the nose, and so much alcohol. It smells far more alcoholic than it is (it is 19%). It is the same in the mouth, with more almond and honey cake notes, but the alcohol overwhelms a bit. I think with food (fruit cake, hard cheeses, dried fruits it would be more approachable.

March 2, 2021 - Great intensity of aromas. Old leather, spices, orange peel, preserved citrus, coffee, dust, vanilla. Full bodied with flavors consistant with the aromas. There is a nice bitterness throughout this wine on the palate. Also, a very balanced sweetness level. I rank it as medium sweet; but you could go medium dry I suppose. Pair with any sweet dessert, but good just by itself too.

June 19, 2020 - Medium brown in color and you can tell from the legs it has significant viscosity. Dried figs, cinnamon, nutmeg, clove, ginger, buttered brown sugar, orange marmalade, toasted walnut, banana, and a hint of alcohol on the nose. Heavy sweetness, golden raisin, golden delicious apple, burnt caramel and a touch of coffee on the palate. Thick luscious mouthfeel but the amount of sugar in this means that isn’t a surprise in the least, luckily there is a nice acidity that pushes back the sweetness to keep it from being overwhelming. Hoisin sauce, nuttiness, and once the sweetness has faded enough a hint of a tannic bite on the finish.

May 17, 2020 - Bright brown-gold, with a nose of sweet pipe tobacco and marmalade. Beautifully balanced - bright acidity against sweetness, with flavours of nuts, spice and candied orange.
