Wine Reviews

Fresh and bright in feel, with a nice mix of kirsch and plum notes, lined with a red licorice hint and backed by red teak and hazelnut husk accents

Shows a slightly darker and richer profile than most of its peers, with fig, plum cake, dark licorice and toasted black sesame notes rolling through. Slightly gutsy, offering a brambly edged finish. A muscular tawny.

This starts out with perfect focus, elegant but increasingly intense on the tight finish. Early on, it was all about the structure, with a haze of velvet. The flavors were a bit muted initially, but it unfolded into an elegant and graceful whole with a flavorful finish. Its bright, clean feel always remains as it fleshes out and puts on weight.

For me the apogee of tawny is 20 years, but this 10-year-old really captures the attention: beautifully soft, creamy, toffee fruit; smooth and seamless mid-palate with a dusting of tannin on the finish adding vibrancy. A true tawny masterpiece.
