1961 vintage. Great nuttiness and caramel notes. Lacking the back end oomph of vintage port. Still, pretty quaffable. — 3 months ago

Gorgeous gold in color with flashes of sunniness. Fantastic scents of lemon, cream and vanilla with flavors of vanilla, sugar cookie, honey, and an acidic hint of lemon. Balanced excellently. Drank this over many nights with many people. Universally enjoyed. — 5 months ago

Pale gold hue. Aromas of honey, orange, peach, tangerine. Plus body and plus acidity. Relatively short finish, but an intriguing aftertaste. Solid dessert wine. — 6 months ago

Fragrant nose of passion fruit, underripe star fruits, apricot, honey, and hint of white floral. Good match between sweetness and refreshing acidity. Light ginger spice adds to the lingering finish.
Lovely! — 2 months ago
