  June 17, 2023 - Decanted two days before service. Dark caramel color with a lot of caramel on the nose. The acidity was very much there, but balancing very well with the sugar. Nuts, caramel, molasses, with a dense mouth feel. Remaining life would be in terms of decades, not years. Excellent with strong cheeses.

  June 17, 2023 - An Evening with Friends (J&J's): Light amber color with notes of coffee, walnut and toffee. Dried stone fruit undertones. Dried apricot and walnut on the palate. Excellent. (J&J)

  December 22, 2010 - Aromas of raisin and coffee. Taste corresponds to aromas, but adds fresh mint and nuts. Sweet, but with balancing acidity. Complex.
  By far the best of the few Madeiras I have tasted. (92 points)
  
  Near perfect with tiramisu and desserts made with cream and dried fruits.
  
  PS! This is not a wine one would drink large quantities of. We had a small glass almost every evening for more than a week. The wine kept it's qualities, and did not stop to to impress. (93 points).
