    July 17, 2020 - Amazing port! Can’t wait to return to Porto! Highly recommended

    April 1, 2019 - Medium mahogany in color, this Port showed dried date, raisin and cranberry on the nose. The mouth feel brought orange zest along with just enough heat from the alcohol to keep everything in moderation. The finish was well integrated with the heat fading away and the raisin and orange peel notes coming back in excellent balance and length. 20% abv.

    Purchased for $40US/750ML. this is an excellent 10 year tawny and a great qpr at this price point. It held up well over the 2 days it was open and retasted daily.

    Imported by Tri-Vin Imports Inc., Mount Vernon, NY. Bottled in 2016.

    February 12, 2019 - Quite unusual to me. A twenty year old, single vineyard, tawny Port. Currently sporting on bottle a Wine Spectator rating of 94!

    Fairly ruby yet in color but aged and "tawny" in it's flavors. Acid first, which in Port is unusual to me, the sweetness is undoubtably there but not the main event.

    With minimal knowledge, I guess this is perhaps a different style of Port? Regardless, if one is willing to accept flavors that vary from the far more prevalent blended tawny's this is highly enjoyable indeed. Remember, vintage 1997 single vineyard ,,, worth a try right?

    To me, as I am enjoying this wine, it is underscored and under appreciated here on Cellar Tracker.

    February 20, 2011 - Nice, too sweet, not wrong, but life is too short to give this Port more attention
