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.

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! — 9 months ago

Semi-sweet on the front end, smoky finish, making the barreling and age a defining characteristic. Brown-red color and nutty, caramel notes. Exceptional tawny port (as it should be) — 7 months ago
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.

pairs well with betrayal. So crisp and clean, unlike the step gabe spilled the last of the mustard on. — 3 years ago
