  January 5, 2023 - Poured a lot darker than I expected it to. Very intense and dark. You can very easily see why this used to be served on a spoon. A little bit goes a very long way!

  July 1, 2014 - At the '63 Port Dinner (Davy's): This is the Essencia which takes years to ferment from natural drip sugars, only 2.5% alcohol. Very dense, dark brown. Lots of honey and caramelised sugar on the nose with only a hint of fruit. Rather cloying in the mouth and extreme length. Not really a drink in the normal sense of the word, more a tasting experience. Done.

  July 1, 2014 - '63 Port Dinner (Davy's): I can see why they serve this with a spoon and why the alcohol is 2.5%. It is too rich and sweet for my palate. Nose of honey, burnt sugar, bitter orange and peach. It covers your mouth and the length is at least 5 mins. Maybe I should try another bottle in a 100 years to see how it is maturing.
