pairs well with betrayal. So crisp and clean, unlike the step gabe spilled the last of the mustard on. — 3 years ago
Definitely a 9. Apricots and caramel on the nose. Buttery mouthfeel. Faint taste of green apples on the front. Crisp notes on the mid palate with a refreshing acidic finish. — 5 months ago
Full bodied, low acidity, low tannin, woody and red fruits on the nose. Very slightly sweet. Good with red meats, funky cheese, and tomatos dishes.

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.

Wow! Rich and deep. Much better than the 10 and better than the 20. A lot more flavor on the back of the tongue and it lasts longer! Big finish! — 3 years ago

Dark purple color, with a lot of earthy components. Floral notes with a wooden accents, vanilla, and dark ripened fruit. All with a bit of leather. Nicely balanced with just a medium tannin structure. A lot softer than the flavors and scents give off. I think it’s delicious, and the 2018 is drinking quite primely right now. — 9 days ago
