August 5, 2022 - Transparent medium to dark brown. Leaps out of the glass, with notes of orange, nuts, creme brûlée, and that Madeira tang. Medium-bodied and elegant in texture - beautiful line and length and layered, before a wonderful midpalate of orange, earth, coffee notes and much more, flanked by a piercing yet balancing acidity. The elegance and layering of this wine sets it apart - texturally very exciting. Excellent length.

July 18, 2022 - A rich and decadent Madeira but at age 100 its showing excellent mature flavors of molasses, fig and dark spices. Medium sweetness without any cloying and amazing intensity. The finish is taut and crisp with great succulence and complexity. A superb Boal that should grow even more complex and elegant over the next 100 years!

December 7, 2018 - A Birthday Celebration (Taste 222 - Chicago IL): Dried cherry, almonds and figs with a long, bright and energetic finish and great textural charm. So enjoyable, with a moderated sweetness that wouldn't pair well with dessert.

November 17, 2017 - Thirteenth Annual White Truffle Dinner (Chez Weber - Chicago IL): Late night, small glass, brief note. Figs and dates and toasted almonds with the richness and sweetness of marzipan. Very good length and intensity.
