First of all, one of the most brilliant wine colors I have ever seen--like jeweled gold. Flavors veering toward an aged Sauternes--honeyed pears, caramelized green apples, nutmeg, cardamom, butterscotch, toasted almonds and macadamia nuts. Outstanding. — 3 months ago
Easy drinking, notes of maraschino cherries, Black Forest cake, and hints of minerals. — 3 months ago
Brick red fading into brown. Aromas of black and white teas, rose and hibiscus petals, dried cherries, dried leaves, chalk, and clay. Loving the earthiness and complexity. — 17 days ago
I've only had a couple touriga nacional non-fortified wines in my life, and they can vary widely in quality, structure, and tannin. This is on the softer side, no doubt partly because of its age, so it drinks easily.
Aromas are very reserved, a far cry from the aromatic wines I usually prefer. Lovely cocoa, clay, and homemade berry jam flavors. Reminds me of a Priorat but without the characteristic minerality. All in all solid. — 2 months ago
Dried apricot, dried mango, ginger, coriander, nutmeg with a mineral background. Peaches and cream on palette. Absolutely delicious. — 3 months ago
Lemon meringue pie, vanilla, green apple. Great finish. — a month ago
Much more minerality than other Priorat I've had. Not sure what others on here are drinking, but I don't see this as fruit forward as they did. That said, hiding behind the llicorella you do get cherry vanilla, cocoa, and coconut--all classic Priorat flavors--with tinges of black pepper. Finish is a little weak for this price range, but I still enjoyed this very much. — 2 months ago
Notes of white cranberry, red currants, and flowers. — 3 months ago
Bright cherry aromas, Saigon cinnamon, majoram, nutmeg, dried ginger, and ancho chile powder backed by a dusty mineral foundation. Finish is good, but not great, but for the price range, this is tasty. — 3 months ago

Fresh cherries and strawberries, orange peel, vanilla, and licorice. Also background notes of plum, pine, and earth . Right now, scoring this as it is drinking, but with age (it needs some mellowing, but certainly not decades) it could move up a few points. — a day ago
