  February 16, 2023 - Simply amazing. Very dark brown, auburn; Not desert sweet, but moderate-light sweet, full of caramel, orange peel, reduced sauce, almonds, fig, spice, not unlike a sweeter palo cortado(Hidalgo Del Duque). Great acidity in the spine, intense but not sloppy or heavy. Super concentrated, long finish, this was lovely. Mozza w/B&B

  July 16, 2022 - Guys' Port Weekend - July 2022; 7/15/2022-7/16/2022 (Boulder Creek, California): Amber-orange and color. Salted caramel, dried fruits, and a touch of VA on the nose. Rich saline notes on the palate with full body, great acidity, and very long finish.

  October 15, 2021 - Tasted a 2019 bottling. A very delicious verdelho!! Roasted fruit, nuts, spices on the nose; dark dried fruit and burnt sugar on the tongue. Excellent palate, balance, and finish.

  July 14, 2021 - Something fun to celebrate a great day of sport in London on Sunday. Dark copper in the glass, incredibly dense nose of candied orange, dried apricot, roasted hazelnut, wood polish and burned sugar. Absolutely stunning off dry palate with butterscotch, marmalade, and maple syrup with really present acidity to keep this fresh and vibrant despite its near 50 years of age. Long finish of walnuts, prunes and dark chocolate. Really special.

  April 17, 2021 - Woody, nutty, spicy, citrusy. Yuuuuuuunmmmm! Long classic Verdelho: dry marmalade, old furniture, spice box and nut skins. So good.
