A challenger. If you cannot reckon fresh fruit with deep tannin and boom pop yah acid you won’t enjoy it. I relish the juxtaposition. — 18 days ago

A fairly acidic aroma. Smoky, burnt caramel, red berries. The flavour is incredibly rich. Cloves and other warm spices, orange. Gives way to a lovely deep plum crumble finish, lingers a very long time.
Delicious with a great beef stew on Bernie's 60th. — 9 days ago

Nose of lemon, spice, tons of citrus, maybe mandarin orange? Very pure and lifting. Palate has terrific energy and lift while also some richness from the oak. But tons of minerals and some nice length. Clean wine. Well made. — 2 days ago

The characteristic aromas of raisins, brown sugar and dried fruits leap from the nose, while orange peel and notes of wood are found on the palate. There’s a wonderful acidity, so don’t think you can only sip it - try pairing it with dinner like our forefathers did.

Pretty good. Apparently made with some rather old vines and by a winemaker obsessed with vineyard maintenance. Velvety texture, tons of spice, dark fruits. — a month ago

Nose has white flowers, but also a monotonous citrus note, some minerals, palate is nice and balanced, very well made. Palate is very Rieslingesque. Complex and mineral. Juicy. Lacks a tiny bit of energy. — 11 hours ago

The opportunity to enjoy a small glass of this came rather unexpectedly yesterday afternoon and I’m still trying to wrap my head around the experience. I was looking over a collection of wines that needed a new home and a friend of mine who was the collection’s custodian, mentioned that he had something he had been meaning to share with me and without any fanfare, he walks back into the room with two small glasses and this ancient bottle. I hardly had any time to react before he poured me a small glass....as I looked three times to confirm that I was, in fact, drinking from a pre-war bottle of Madeira. The nose was stunning. A massive wave of confected fruit like candied citron. You know those beautiful syrup glazed orange (and other fruit) slices you’ll often see in European chocolate shops? Yeah...it smelled like that. Just a touch of VA. On the palate, this was totally mind bending. It’s almost all hazelnuts; remarkably dry; and there is pronounced acidity. The finish lasted for minutes. I can categorically state that this wine is very much alive and well but it’s a nerd’s wine as it’s super rustic and best served as an aperitif. — 22 days ago

Have had the 2015 vintage several times over the 2019 fall and find it to be quite enjoyable. Silky and smooth. Drinkable with and without food. Great price point for Bermuda. — 3 days ago
