Deep purple in color; blueberries, plums, and dried flowers on the nose; medium plus acidity; high tannins, so tannic it's chewy; tastes like raspberries, violets, crushed gravel, and wet slate with a long finish. Well balanced flavors. I love it. — 8 months ago
Least favorite of the total wine Portugal tries. Too much leather and Tobacco Matt liked. Got better as it opened. — 4 months ago
Semi-sweet on the front end, smoky finish, making the barreling and age a defining characteristic. Brown-red color and nutty, caramel notes. Exceptional tawny port (as it should be) — 7 months ago
Great cheap buy from Total Wine. Pleasantly surprised how good this was and would get again. — 4 months ago
While the nose is of prototypical tawny port with raisin, caramel, fig, cocoa, and sandalwood, the palate has a fruitier profile with subtle cherry flavor. Full and rich but not cloying - it’s actually on the drier end of the taste spectrum for a tawny.

Very rich with lots of depth. Similar flavor profile to the 20 and 30 year, but more depth and complexity. — 3 years ago
