The rarest of them all and a crown jewel of D'Oliveiras, one of only two who even make Bastardo. So complex with unbelievable power and intensity and racy acids balancing its delicate sweetness. Finishes forever. A profound Madeira! — 6 days ago

Old-school hint of barnyard funk in the nose. Not enough for any concern, and it plays nicely with tangy, zingy macerated cherry and spice. A bit of crushed stone. Rapier-like acids propel the fruit along. Tannins are very soft. (Thanks to my brother @Angelo Casagrande for the gift!) — 5 months ago

This was my birthday wine from Total Wine. One of the staff recommended it. It tastes like a small batch, old recipe. Smooth, dry, with just a tad of sweet berry finish. Will definitely purchase again! — 23 days ago

Little funk on the nose. Sour cherry, some minerals and a bit of smoke. Little lighter than I expected, some healthy tannin on the back end. Really fine wine for $20 or so. Nice to see Vallana’s around again. — 3 months ago

Think it’s a little young?? Idk, very good. Think it could enrich in time. Coal, oak, smoky, but a little too red fruity on after taste. However after a glass that acidity is very nice. Maybe it just needed to open up. — 5 months ago

Gorgeous nuttiness and smoky almonds and sugar. Nutmeg, Christmas pudding, cinnamon. Toffee and a deep sherried oxidation. So complex and rich and delicious. Wow — 4 months ago
