Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
Bottled after five years, this is an LBV that could well age. It is a ripe wine, bringing out a dry tang of dark raisins and black figs. Attractive perfumes go with the richness of the texture. Tannins add to the aging potential.

As Colheitas (aged tawnies) go, this is young. It has good nut and raisin flavors, with a burst of orange zest and sweet cherries. Once open, it will keep for several weeks if the air is pumped out.

Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
Lovely, ripe, mature fruit underlies great toffee richness, a serious amount of wood tannin and acidity. The flavors are of old caramel and dark brown sugar. This is an impressive wine that balances age with continuing freshness.

Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
A finely structured wine that relishes its blackberry jelly, new wood and dense, concentrated texture. The wine is powerful, firm, certainly rich, but with a sense of restraint that gives it elegance.

Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
This is definitely old, an acquired taste perhaps, the wine showing high wood acidity, with a tight character. Any fruit has gone, leaving pure acidity and a very mature texture.

Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
There are big tannins here on this rich, powerful wine, warm and ripe. There is a dry core, giving a dark, youthful herbal character, and the tannins along with final acidity. Although it is ready to drink, it also promises many years of aging.

Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
This is all about rich, tarry red fruit flavors, layered with some dense fruit tannins. It’s a warm wine from a hot place, concentrated and full. With flavors of superripe black fruits, this could be aged, but is definitely ready to drink now.

Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
An impressively mature 20-year old tawny, showing great layers of wood acidity, dark figs and well-integrated spirit. In the house style, it is not a big wine, more perfumed and delicate, and elegant.

Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
Strong perfumed fruit aromas set the scene for a lavender-scented wine, with rich texture and dark tannins. It is relatively dry, the fruit character more of plum skins than of juice. Very stylish.

Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
A curious aroma of honeysuckle and tomatoes spoils this wine. The texture itself is fine, but it seems to have unripe fruit, very dry and rather lean. It could age, but the starting point doesn’t seem promising.
