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 14, 2020 - I'm not a big fan of Tawny, but this one is something special. Excellent.
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.

March 7, 2014 - (mise en bouteille en 1998 selon l'étiquette)
Nez de caramel, orange sanguine, raisins secs, café au lait
En bouche ce tawny est concentré, sec et sucré à la fois, une grande longueur dans une finale ferrugineuse avec une certaine amertume. Excellent, quoique très cher. 92 pts

August 18, 2010 - Sooo good. Sooo smooth. What you would expect from a well-aged Tawny by a maker as respected as Fonseca. I could drink this all night long if I were made of money, ha ha! Married especially well with the Valdeon Blue Cheese.
October 4, 2007 - Caramel and nuts on the nose. Great complexity on the mid-palate. Honey on the long finish with a great mouthfeel.
