| | Tasted by The Kokopelli on 5/26/2009 & rated 89 points: Amazing for the price. Nice red-tinted copper color with a warm nose of apricot, orange and brown sugar. The taste is rich and sweet with dried apricot, orange peel and molasses. The mouth feel is thick, heavy and opulent with a medium-long finish. There is a slight medicinal hint, but minor overall.

| | Tasted by Johannes.knops@xjtlu.edu.cn on 3/25/2008 & rated 80 points: I recall a much better bottle from a number of years ago. Either a bad batch or sat on the grocery shelf way to long. (20833 views) |
| | Tasted by mjraica on 1/7/2008 flawed bottle: I surely hope this was a bad bottle as it has received some decent ratings. Tasted purely of sugar. Was almost clear, although I am in no way an expert on port, I have usually associated them with a darker red. Would be hesitant to try again. (5022 views) |
| | Tasted by Lukeout on 7/12/2007: surprisingly elegant and a wonderful value. This is my 3rd bottle, and it has been universally loved when shared. Nice brown sugar, rasins, and cherry. Will always keep in the cellar. (5041 views) |

| | Tasted by markbona on 12/25/2006 & rated 84 points: Great value - definately the top end of good for a tawny port. Great nose - raisens and sugar; lovely color with excellent legs; Finishes nicely with a lingering bitey fruit taste and little to no alchohal burn (5462 views) |
