September 17, 2022 - Textbook across from start to finish , lovely oxidation, nutty, soft caramel , rich and at times even floral. Good rich feel on the palate but not overwhelming and does the part. 90-91
November 13, 2016 - Copper colour, deep colour
Orange peel on the nose, almonds
Dry, very tangy, lots acidity, dry finish, mouth puckering , long
September 9, 2016 - Deep, rich complex dry Madeira. Though I would have expected and preferred more bracing acidity.
20%ABV.
February 2, 2016 - Madeira Pilgrimage; 2/1/2016-2/4/2016 (Madeira): Smells of yellow flowers and orange peels. Pure and zesty on the palate, despite the richness this is a fresh and lively wine. Fruity and tropical but so much freshness. I get almonds, sea salt and honeyed tea notes as well. Very complex and long.
April 29, 2014 - salty nose
marmalade
super acidic
very tangy
a real mouthful
probably needs some hard cheese
March 5, 2014 - Lightest color of all 3, dull golden brown with watery rim; drier, tart yellow fruit, sour plum, golden raisin, nutty like Sherry; still good rich mouthfeel, fresh, sour plum, dried nectarine, golden raisin, long nutty finish; good.
January 9, 2014 - Quick taste. Clean, interesting slightly tropical nose. Quite nice for the age, if a little lacks for acidity. Bittersweet orange essence palate. Good length.
