Critic Ratings
Wine Enthusiast Review - Rated 96:
Taking advantage of the newly created 50-year-old tawny category, this famous producer has launched a dense, intense Port. The wine’s concentration is immense, wood and old gold flavors almost incidental in an age-defying wine. Drink this fine wine now. Evaton, Inc. Editors’ Choice. — R.V.
Wine Spectator Review - Rated 96:
A bird of a different feather, this tawny Port features a high-pitched jasmine note along with a range of singed white peach, bitter almond, hazelnut husk, dried clementine and green fig flavors that glide through effortlessly, all carried by superfine acidity through a remarkably long and persistent finish that tilts to the dry side. Shows delicate sweetness, which lets the panoply of flavors play out unencumbered. Beautiful. Drink now. From Portugal. — J.M.
