Definitely a 9. Apricots and caramel on the nose. Buttery mouthfeel. Faint taste of green apples on the front. Crisp notes on the mid palate with a refreshing acidic finish. — a month ago

This is the third (and last) bottle of 1969 we’ve tried in the past 5 years, and the first starting to show some clear decline, with a green asparagus note that shows on the palate and into the medium-long finish, but still, 55-year-old Ramisco?!?! Wow! — 9 months ago

Tastes still like a very young wine. Would benefit from a couple of more years in cellar. — 5 years ago

Good! Total wines Portugal wine. Would get again. Deep fruit but not too dark. Balanced. — 6 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.

Ramisco from Colares is one of my bucket list experiences so anytime I get to share (& it must be shared!)a bottle it’s a special experience indeed. Truffle, aged bark, blackberry must on nose; on palate those notes plus sour cherry concentrate, cassis, & forest leaves all in a light medium body. Did not decant & wondered if mildly corked (vs needing air). I experience these wines as remarkably evocative, & find my self transported to, for example, my English grandfather’s library in London,as a child, which I suppose is another way of saying it’s a”contemplative” wine. I also find the 500ml format an excellent way to sample aged, noble wine like this- the Goldilocks of proportion. I humbly bow to my dear friend for breaking this out. — 7 months ago

pairs well with betrayal. So crisp and clean, unlike the step gabe spilled the last of the mustard on. — 3 years ago
