2/25/2024 - Champagneinhand wrote: NRI bought some of this and left this comment in case people unfamiliar with a label that states a vintage and has solera behind it. Over time there certainly is less of the older juice circulating but the solera systems are all a bit unique and the blends marked solera will always have some variance much like multi vintage champagne and in that same manner the winery that maintains this 1927 or whatever base vintage solera unit tries to tune their batch so it represents what will ultimately come to be as close as possible using these unique ways to capture bigger units of time and all the things that happen over 5 years. It’s going to show, but you have to marvel that all of these wineries develop styles that they hold even in some off years. Soleras are much like insurance against any one year of devastation. |

Minerality overtone that carries into the mouth and provides the shape for the flavors which are amazing - bright overripe raspberry, vivid acidity, long finish. Wonderfully flavorful. Bought some originally through Vinopolis, have drank through it and now seeking more. It’s just that good. Not something that makes you think deep thoughts - it’s more of a “damn that’s great” sort of wine. Crazy. |

1/14/2024 - scottesterly Likes this wine: 91 pointsI’m a port lover first and foremost. But I like this. It’s thick and syrupy. Liquid raisins, as many have already noted, are the first major flavor to pound at you. Rich, raisiny and datey. Am curious if this will open up over the course of days/weeks sealed up in the fridge. |

1/11/2024 - Kozakofthewest Likes this wine: 94 pointsTaste is great but have a smell of "Taranka" dried salted fish. Trying at a restaurant and taste reminds me of the 1946 but the smell ... I'm not against it but bizarre. On the pallet you have raisin , dry apricot, prunes in great ballance. |

12/25/2023 - scorbett Likes this wine: NRNice to slow-roll this in small portions over a week. Ultra decadent, dried fruits, molasses, but with a striking acidity. This has to be the end of the night though, because the palate will be fatigued after this. |

12/23/2023 - Bubblesearcher23 Likes this wine: 96 pointsDeep brown tawny color, probably one of the darkest wines I’ve had. Thick legs, viscous. Nose is super complex, with toasted figs, burnt caramel, stewed fruits, that Madeira-familiar turpentine, oak. Mouthfeel is incredible, super thick and delicious. On the palate, strong notes of sun dried raisins, stewed prunes, chocolate, tastes like your mouth is slowly unpacking a chocolate-covered raisin. Long finish. Really unique and sensational if you’re into dessert wines. Basically everything I want in a PX Sherry. A very small pour in a Port glass is all you need. |

12/22/2023 - chugwine wrote: 89 pointsTasted while smoking a Rocky Patel 60... Extremely thick almost waxy, on the palette it is light with a candied raisins profile. Not alot of acidity on the mouth. Very interesting bottle, especially considering the $19 purchase price. The method of placing the grapes on mats to dry in the sun reminds me of an amarone, and I can't help but think that helps the concentration, thus giving it that syrupy consistency. I still would prefer Port with a good cigar FWIW. |
