May 10, 2023 - Quinta do Vallado tasting and dinner (Restaurant Vanderveen, Amsterdam, NL): Intense and very concentrated but delicate and elegant, lovely hit of volatile acidity, hint of Douro bake because the oldest (50-90 year old) components were aged on the estate, Madeira-like tanginess, very fresh and vibrant, long finish with very good definition.

December 14, 2022 - In the bouquet coffee, cane sugar, caramel, honey and vanilla. Same on the palate, chocolate, a lot of sweetness, walnuts, figs, burned sugar, some oxidized impressions and beautiful acidity. Overall very intense and complex and also elegant in a way. Impressive wine.

April 15, 2021 - Beautiful, intense nose with raisins, smoke, caramel, dried figs and honey. Thick, oily texture on the palate, full-bodied, very sweet with extreme concentration, but with enough acidity to provide freshness. One of my favourite port wine producers. But honestly, I still prefer the 20 year for overall balance and energy. 16.5/20
