  Wonderful balance of complexity and sweetness. Color is alarmingly diluted, but the wine is complex and profound (Qatar Airways DOH - LHR Business)

  There's an odd damp earth note in the aromas and on the finish which is off-putting, but otherwise this is very impressive. The Madeira comparison is fair, there's a great deal of acidity, and plenty of intensity. Loads of red fruit, bracing, spicy and creamy. Very complex and moreish.
  
  I do wonder if there's a hint of cork taint, but it hasn't gotten worse with air; I look forward to trying another bottle (probably from a different bottling) to see if the earthiness is a stylistic element or a flaw...

  Fortified Evening with the TWS North London Group (Must & Lees, Warren Street): Brown-toned orange, dark amber perhaps. Nose remiscent of a school stationary cupboard, pencil eraser an amazingly accurate suggestion from Peter, and I also come up with those squeezy bottles of school paint. We have now reached this stage of the evening.... Almost like a Madeira on the palate, delicious and will go on forever probably.

  2022 Port Harvest Tour; 9/22/2022-10/2/2022 (Porto, Portugal): Bottled in 2022. There are light caramel, vanilla, and wood notes on the nose. The very smooth flavor profile includes orange spice, toffee, and milk chocolate on the palate. Medium tannins combine with a long finish to make this a pleasing and balanced wine.
