December 2, 2023 - (Restaurant, freshly coravinned).Deep amber; powerful bouquet, complex; intense palate, direct attack, marked acidity provides verve. Consistent to a bottle a few years back. Happy to hold onto my bottle.

October 3, 2022 - This was my last glass having left the bottle in a decanter for the best part of a year. Deep amber in the glass, nose of chargrilled pineapple, marzipan, orange peel and camphor wood. Vibrant palate of dried fruit and spices, with savoury hints and excellent acidity. Extremely long finish of burned sugar, roasted nuts and herbal bitters. Lively and mouth-watering Madiera.

October 8, 2021 - Frasqueira. Year of bottling: 2012. Bought from the producer in Funchal in 2013.
Open since 08.04.2020.
NOSE: Half dried sweet & sour berries, old sweet wood, some wood polish, dried orange rind, candied lemon rind, kumquat, rowanberry liqueur, light nuts. Like MDFreitas I also find some dry, pressed flowers. A little coffee. (89p)
TASTE: Wonderful sweet-dry-astringent-sour taste. Not the heaviest hitting or fullest Madeira but very lively, with some elegance to it. Fairly long, fruity-acidic and then slightly drying aftertaste. (90p)
TOTAL SCORE 90 points. -

September 17, 2021 - Rich deep amber colored
Roasted hazelnut and marzipan aromas
Sweet bitter orange peel.
Rich sweet palate with bracing acidity.
Such a treat.
Absolutely worth a visit before they’re gone forever -

August 5, 2020 - Amber colored
Huge melange of mushroom chestnut
orange peel, honey and blazing acidity.
This is such a special wine, though the strong flavors probably require a bit of a trigger warning.
Absolutely worth a try for the adventurous
