April 29, 2023 - Guys Port Weekend - LA (Claremont, CA): Bottled in 2004. Cloudy appearance. Rich dusty fruits and a touch of heat on the nose. Great acidity and brightness. Good intensity with lime, citrus, and caramel on the palate. The finish is surprisingly wonderful and long.

October 19, 2019 - As pictured, the label stated "Colheita de 1944, matured in wood, bottled in 1987." Clear, medium-light brown in color. Full, forward, aromatic & complex nose of sherry-like overtones of caramel & toffee, orange rind, figs, golden raisins, some coffee, roasted walnuts, spices, dark brown sugar & a hint of vanilla bean & oak undertones in the background. Medium-full bodied with a very good concentration of well balanced & silky smooth textured, well developed & mature, ripe fruit flavors of orange rind & figs, caramel, toffee, brown sugar, spices & a slight hint of vanilla. A long lingering warm finish. An wonderful well-aged wine such that any numerical score would not do justice to the tasting experience.

It has a gold label and 1944 in gold glitter on the back.
