July 4, 2020 - I've had this bottle since 2014 and it is still drinking beautifully. Great by itself or with a chocolate dessert. An exotic blend of Touriga, Muscadelle, Tinta Molle, Tinta Cao, Shiraz, Grenache and Mourvedre. Deep amber to pale tawny, with some sediment. Intense caramel, mocha, chocolate, dried figs, hazelnuts, dried cherries. The palate is lusciously sweet, somewhat balanced by the med (+) acidity and med (-) tannin. Full-bodied, with pronounced flavor intensity and a long finish. Best served cool. It is drinking beautifully now and is quite age worthy. A great value.

January 3, 2020 - Intensely sweet and unctuous, treacle and molasses in spades. Went well with mince pies. Quite a lot of fine sediment, so careful decanting recommended.

December 2, 2018 - Always a crowd pleaser. And a personal favorite. Prunes, dried plumb, toffee, caramel, sweet alcohol after taste. It's got it all!
