Just entering its drinking window. It has 40 years ahead of it. Excellent with Ribcap from Costco.

Broke out one of my cellared Raffaults for my homeboy who graced me with a home cooked Tuscan styled flank steak w rosemary & arugula, as well as Israeli cous cous w chickpeas, charred tomatoes, feta, & herbs. Light Cadmium red hued & strong color though ( good cork- not a guarantee w Raffault!); dense Hibiscus, fresh raspberry & some bramble on nose; on palate very clean & smooth mouthfeel, with the initial flavors repeated but a deeper blend of red fruits & a stronger presence of under brush. Super fresh & integrated. Elegant, & the Burgundy echo was hard to ignore. Not Uber complex but not monolithic either, which this line of Raffault can be in its youth ( or as it ages). Very impressive, & accessible now. Curious how my ‘02 & 07s will fare… — 7 months ago

Really lovely. Great flavor. Tropical smoothie on the beach meets stone fruit and a tea party. Definite funk but blew off after 30 minutes of air. Sour peaches, earl grey tea with pineapple and passion fruit. More underripe stone fruit. Lingers on the palate bringing you back for more. — 6 months ago

Single harvest tawny, aka Colheita Port, sourced from Quinta dos Malvedos and Quinta das Lages and aged in seasoned oak casks. Very limited edition made to celebrate the 100th anniversary of their port aging lodge in Vila Nova de Gaia (built in 1890). Amber color. Delicate nose with scents of caramel and vanilla, reminiscent of Sherry (but not as intense). Round on the palate. Orange flavors. Surprisingly fresh. Long finish. Excellent, but I prefer several Palo Cortados for this price — 2 years ago
