Off dry to medium, this was nutty rich and spicy with bitter lime marmalade flavours seasoned with pepper. Super bitter sweet character which eliminates any chance of cloying. I loved the balance and complexity. All in all very satisfying. 91pts

The recent notes capture it well. And we agree with the most recent — there is some residual sugar/sweetness, and we would have preferred a bit less of that. Overall, however, it was very enjoyable over many nights — and it went especially well with rich soups.

There's some residual sugar here. Loads of acid, yes, but still some sweetness. I'd think verdelho if tasting it blind, and I like sercial more austere. Still, it's got a nice nuttiness, and savory length too.

Seattle Chaine Port and Madeira Tasting. Dried orange marmalade quality. Tasted next to a Leacock's Rainwater Madeira, this is darker, richer, and more acidic with a longer finish. This is more of a food wine for sure but the Leacock is more enjoyable on its own. This paired wonderfully with a mushroom tart.

Great juice. Never expected to finish the bottle in one sitting, but here we are. Excellent depth and persistence.
