  Outstanding. Remarkable. PnP that showed fresh, with just a hint of maturity. Still bright and clear, with a core that's more medium straw than anything gold. Cork (tiny) and fill were vg, and there was only modest sediment. Nice earth, stone fruit, saline, etc. Medium bodied, wildly complex and deeply satisfying on the mid-palate, and finish. Brilliant drop that's got years yet ahead. Just 12,0% abv. highly recommended

  Bone dry, juicy acidity, lots of primary fruit, belying its 28 years of age. Marmalade, herbs. Lots of years left.

  Three plus years after the prior: absolutely lovely again. Bright golden. Beautifully waxy. A cornucopia of yellow fruited flavors. Bright refreshing acidity. Characterful oxidative notes. Our sixth of this vintage. Super over three nights, glad we have one more. We may wait try to
  wait a year or two before opening. Note: the bottom 1/8 of the cork was saturated and broke off when removing the top portion. Removal of the rest required surgical measures — beware!

  A treat to taste an aged Portuguese white. Loved the golden color, but the palate was nice but not special.

  Wow this wine seems to live forever. Still good levels of acidity and that lovely, amazing oxidative style. I'm going to try and find some more bottles if they somehow exist.
