A 10-year Madeira: A deeply aged fortified wine, revealing a symphony of caramel, nutty, and dried fruit notes, harmonized with a lingering finish. An enigmatic delight for the discerning palate. — 22 days ago

Whoopsies forgot to take a picture of the bottle at the tasting so yay handy booklets I took notes in to the rescue. Thirty-one years in French oak! Almost vanilla paste, vanilla flower and candied white currant nose. Coffee, caramelized nuts, candied orange peel, and fresh lemon rind on the palate with cutting acid. All this courses through the finish but with toast. Gimme some more. — 3 months ago

If I had to drink a wine produced during the Civil War, this would be it. What an elegant, but still lively expression of what Madeira can be. Soft and supple. Finish goes forever. Magical. — 5 months ago

Such a pretty, fresh nose. Passionfruit, cacao, arabica coffee. Deep dark, textured depths on the palate. — 2 months ago

Translucent cold brew color, rather pungent citrus and roasted pecan nose. Yum already. Then medium sweet, deeply caramel more pecan on the palate. This wine feels like family and that’s not just my Austin-grandparent-pecan-picking nostalgia. It’s so friendly but capable of throwing you for a loop—how high is that alcohol? (19.5 abv)) but WHAT sort of kernel/nut elements are they and are they STILL judging where I went to school? These pecan-savvy questions fade as elegant smoky elements wave through to tell you it doesn’t matter so long as you graduated. It keeps you on your toes and keeps you looking towards more time together. — 4 months ago
