Bottled 2021. This is an exceptionally good 10 years tawny, even better than the 20 years from Burmester because it is drier and as complex and fragrant as that one. I haven't tasted them together but at least I think that the cane sugar nose with smoky notes and the firm layered taste were better than any 10 year old I can think of.

Purchased for $40. A bit high for a 10-Year. A cloudy rust, burnt orange in color. Nose of caramel, toffee, spice and hazelnut. Similar notes on the palate with sticky apricot, fig and orange marmalade. Complex, but a really short finish. Disappointingly short. There's also a slight sour, burnt note on the finish. Better than Taylor and Dow, but a step behind the Vallado. Grade: A-

Lovely subtle flavour for a port - nice and easy to drink with a mellow profile.

Butterscotch, pecan pie, raisin, salty toffee. Palate shows salt, toffee, nuts. Balanced sweetness - enough acid and structure to keep me coming back.

All that I could want from a red port.
