2022 Port Harvest Tour; 9/22/2022-10/2/2022 (Porto, Portugal): This is an unfiltered cask sample, bottled this morning. This wine is over 40 years old and is a clear, orange-yellow in color. There are notes of grilled pineapple, torrefacted sugars, and caramel on the nose. Incredible, well-balanced acidity with citrus and DipStick candy (confectioner sugar)creates a wonderful sweetness on the palate. According to Carlos Flores, the oldest wine in this blend is a dry white that is over 80 years old. Carlos said that in making this wine he was "standing on the shoulders of giants." It has a very long finish.

Red, White and a Rarity (Sammamish, Washington): Bottled in 2021. Amber-orange in color. Vanilla creme, tropical fruits, and just a touch of spirit on the nose. Well-rounded mouthfeel with some great acidity and balance. Really pleasant acidity and richness on the long finish.

Smagt under corona tider er det det tætteste vi kommer på at sidde i Porto og nyde sydens sol og smagen af eventyr. Vidunderlige noter af marcipan, karamel, nødder, lidt træ, whisky (det er nok egentlig den anden vej rundt) og selvfølgelig vin.

2015 Port Harvest Tour; 9/26/2015-10/3/2015 (Portugal): Orange in color with slight greenish tinge. Some tropical notes on the nose, with is a little subdued due to the bottle just being opened. Citrus peel with some touches of butterscotch. Great acidity!

Dejlige citrusnuancer, men lidt diskret i næse og mund.
