Another flawless wine by Mary Taylor. — 7 months ago
Once again: I'm not a porto fan. And this one is The exception. Maybe because it's 50 years old, whether it's f.ckin' good. Smooth, elegant, with coffee, honey sweetness and very long finish. Best porto I've ever had. And probably the last one. — 2 years ago
Fantastic. Perfect age. Older world. Feels and tastes like a bottle many times more expensive. — 3 years ago

Special and powerful aroma mixed oak and fruitiness, tropical. Sharp woody but rich. Citrus. Minerally. On the way to be matured. But specially complexity. Temperature raising, deeply tasty wine. 2016 @700/100ml(4800), Enoteca T, 211010 — 3 years ago
Supple, jammy, silky mouthfeel, grapefruit, reminds me of the smokey charcoal of a Vacqueyras and the fruit of a luscious Pinot.
A recommended Rhône from the local shop owner on 23rd street.
A bouquet that brings the memory of clementines.

Probably past prime. But 'tis the season, so used it for NYTimes recipe Port Toddies. Merry and bright halfway through my second. Looking forward to finishing bottle on New Years Day. — 5 months ago
Pale lemon with aromas of citrus and tropical fruit with herb and floral notes. On the palate flavors of peach, guava, lime and pear fruit with floral and some floral tones, lively acidity adding wet stones. Medium+ finish ending, slight citrus, with fruit, herbal, floral and salty mineral notes. Nice! Not a typical NZ SB, very muted letting aromas and flavors mixing well together. Screw cap! — 5 months ago

Sweet and tart. Love it! A little thinner than I was expecting though, but wonderful. Had 1-24, from Jewel. — 4 months ago
