Intensely honeyed with some in my group noting petrol, extremely interesting and concentrated. Enjoyed with a crystallized cheddar, Spanish goat’s milk cheese, and a couple of others. Highly enjoyable. Might even stand up to some desserts. — 6 years ago

2010 Vintage - we expected vinegar, got a beautiful Madeira nose and full bodied palate. Really surprising, and a gorgeous finish that sticks around for a minute. — 6 years ago

Beautiful, complex, savory. Bold and assertive. Such body for a 13 year old wine. Lots of earthy spice. Love. — 6 years ago

8.0

Such an interesting wine on its own, wish we had paired it with food, and probably will next time we are together.
Has quite a bit of salinity on the back end, surprisingly acidic. I would be fooled by the color in a blind tasting, as by the palette.

Surprisingly not oxidative (I say this because we had the 2009 alongside it), and very bright and acidic for being almost 15 years old. Not what I expected at all, but really enjoyed this. — 6 years ago

Quite a lot of dark fruit juice on the nose, blackberry, cinnamon, clove. Palette matches, with a surprising medium body that I didn’t expect. Slightly sweet-tart finish. Really fantastic for my palette! — 6 years ago
