    November 6, 2016 - Such an intense wine, orange peel and layers of nuts and dried fruits. Rich and long.

    January 18, 2015 - Dense sweet aromas of brown sugar, dried figs, orange, nuts, almond. Slightly oxidized, almost sherry character in mouth. So good just to sit and sniff! Can’t rate as I have no references for Madeira but who could not love this?

    January 15, 2015 - FW-BYOB-HT-15#1; 1/15/2015-1/19/2015: ¤FW - Incredible wine, an honor to try this! Deep, complex and inviting nose of nuts, butter, brown sugar, figs, raisins and oranges.
    So fresh on the palate! High acidity with generous, round fruit and nothing cloying or sweet at all. High intensity and a never ending finish. This is what Madeira should be!
