Gloriously smooth and balanced. Stewed prunes, fruit cake and spices. Fascinating acidity of citrus zest, lemon oil. The perfect sweetness to balance the acidity on this. Lots of extra flavors bounce around on the thrilling finish which borders on refreshing somehow. — 5 years ago
I agree with Alex Liddell that it's hard to get worked up about 3-5 year blends of tinta negra mole. So where are the madeiras for everyday drinking? This colheita answers that question. Nearly twenty years old, medium rich, with a fantastically deceiving caramel nose. Fresh acidity with burnt caramel, nutshells, citrus, and other maderised notes on the palate. Short finish. Brilliant as an opener or on its own. — 6 years ago
Rich and with very good acidity, caramel, brown butter and raisin. — 3 years ago
Nutty roasted nose. 19% zippy acidity, nice long finish. Fucking adult koolaid.
