February 20, 2023 - If you like tawny port, then this this wine is spectacular. It is complex, vibrant, and lingering. Some of the best tawny port I've ever had. Buy all you can. It's that good.

October 20, 2016 - One of the best tawnies I've tasted. Nose of figs, candied cherries, leather, and baking spices. Full of excitement and complexity. Retains liveliness with moderate sweetness. Yum!
Tasted at Shangri La Tokyo lounge. -

February 26, 2016 - Marrom com nuances douradas e tons esverdeados, esbanja complexidade desde o nariz em suas abundantes frutas secas, chocolate, caramelo, melaço, tâmaras, figos ressecados, ervas secas, nozes, pão quente, cedro molhado, pelica, cacau. Denso, portentoso, doce e com uma pastosidade apaixonante e que conduz a um reticente e delicioso final; Com figos secos, castanhas e um bom Patargas. 93 GGP
