1985 vintage. This was the first vintage for Jeremy Bull ( who moved from Taylor's) and as I tasted it young many times, I considered it a sleeper of the vintage (with Fonseca being the superstar). And it surely does not disappoint now at almost 4 decades old. Solid colour. Still lots of black fruit in the nose and the mouth, dark chocolate and spices with impeccable balance and great length. You can still find this in Portugal at a fraction of the price of the big boys. Highly recommended. — a year ago
Feb 2021. Beautiful dried fruit — figs, plums. So smooth and balanced. This is my new favorite LBV Port. — 3 years ago
Takes a while to open up but then it is smooth and layered. Soft tannins. From the Clare Valley. — 6 months ago

1994 vintage. Well-crofted indeed. The nose is rather discrete initially. Still a lot of fruit in the mouth, with fresh acidity and silky tannin.While it does not have the depth and power of Taylor's and Fonseca in this extraordinary vintage, there is a lot to like. Give it time to open up. — 3 months ago
