July 16, 2022 - A nice experience with the 1908 d'Oliveiras Boal, showing golden raisin, darjeeling tea, and a touch of cinnamon. Medium-rich molasses, inflected palate.

October 15, 2021 - To be honest, I was a bit disappointed - was hoping for so much for given its age. Still, it's pretty good with a long and bitter finish.

April 6, 2019 - A Day Trip to Healdsburg (Single Thread ***): The real value is the piece of history. This tastes like above average Madeira but is mind blowing because it's over 100 years old. Don't buy thinking it will change your life... go with something from the 60s.
