While the nose is of prototypical tawny port with raisin, caramel, fig, cocoa, and sandalwood, the palate has a fruitier profile with subtle cherry flavor. Full and rich but not cloying - it’s actually on the drier end of the taste spectrum for a tawny.

Lovely with traditional Portuguese meat dishes at Lisbon Wine House. — 2 years ago
pairs well with betrayal. So crisp and clean, unlike the step gabe spilled the last of the mustard on. — 3 years ago
2016 opened March 2024. Grapefruit and apricots on the nose. Lemon on the front with a crisp tannic backbone. It becomes intensely astringent on the mid palate and it has a long bitter finish. At first I didn’t care for this wine, but halfway through the first glass i loved it. This would be a refreshing summer wine — chilled of course! — 8 months ago
Tastes very dark oak with thick tannins. I like. Very inky with dark fruits. — 10 months ago
É gostosinho, tanto em temperatura ambiente quanto com os dois cubinhos de gelo ou pré-refrescado.
É azedinho do jeito que eu gosto, mas não chega a ser exagerado.
No dia seguinte não perde muito o gosto, então dá pra tomar de boas. — 2 years ago
