  As soon as the bottle was popped, the aroma took me straight back to the tasting we had in the Calem cave in Porto last year. Served chilled, with charcuterie and cheese (and a British pork pie) this had the right balance of sweetness and acidity to complement everything on the plate.

  Served a little too warm than the lightlly chilled recommendation. Ruby with tawny highlights. The nose has cooked sultana, raisin and plum fruits like a Christmas pudding. The palate is sweet and raisiny with a bit of alcohol heat on the finish. Not the best 10 year old tawny but one of the cheaper ones. Not served at the best temperature, a little too warm.

  Rich and layered caramel and toffee top note over bitter almond and dried red berries. Precise, focused and long.

  Bottled 2017. Bottle is open for two days: cherry red colour, smells of marzipan, raisins and smoke, light body, not that sweet, in the mouth a little bit of marzipan, raisins and acidity, in the aftertaste raisins, a little bit of marzipan and acidity, medium length (20 sec), good Tawny, I like the Calem house style

  Pale ruby/brown in the glass, dried fruit flavors with caramel, notes of spice and wood. There was a bit of astringency that was off-putting. @DeltaOne
