Community Tasting Notes 18

  January 1, 2023 - A rank tawny like this, colored ruby red, inspires confidence (just as Rainwater Madeira colored like CA Chardonnay would.) A cheese wine. Dry in its soul. Paired with organic-domestic walnuts, it jams the axe. Liquor of slate. Prune blossom. Coffee improvised from raspberries. Sweet and boozy, like contrarian Montepulciano, surrounded by weeds. Don't underestimate the pairing potential here. Smoked Gouda melted over ham and sweet mustard is an obvious event, but one might be startled to witness how cordial it is with caviar.
  
  Secret back label code suggests this NV was bottled in 2021, and, more presumptively, the second bottling under this label for that year: QIPOTTAW221. Presumption is based on the elevated proportion of codes I see that end in 1XX vs 2XX, and scalar deductions.

  September 21, 2015 - Why did I drink a tawny port in the summer? June was cold and rainy, so that must have been why. I prefer their ruby, but this would be good with the right pairing. Not too sweet, just like I like it.

  November 30, 2014 - not sure how long I have had this bottle as it is a mon-vintage tawny, but it is still a beauty, and I'm thinking I've had it a minimum 4years. Aromas are reminiscent of hazelnut and cherry, while the palate has a rich cherry flavour backed by good acidity and a finish that is indulgent with hazelnut and lightly caramelled ... and of course, the hallmark of any good Port is a pleasant linger that keeps you coming back for more
