From a generally declared vintage, as you might expect, the ’66 has greater depth of colour and flavour [to that of the ‘65]. A hint of iodine on the nose is fast subsumed by its vigorous charge of dried fig, rum and raisin, liquorice, smoky hazelnut and richer macademia. More delicate bourbon vanilla and cafe creme notes linger for an age on the smooth, honeyed finish. An outstanding single harvest Tawny.Sarah Ahmed, www.thewinedetective.co.uk (Feb 2016)
One of a series of releases of single harvest wines, this smooth, wood-aged Port is rich and still full of fruit. Ripe date and raisin flavors are lifted by acidity, with flavors from the wood aging giving great balance. Tawny in character, this beautiful wine is complex and ready to drink. Rating: 95 The Wine Enthusiast www.winemag.com (Dec 2015)
Very elegant, with notes of tobacco and cedar to the lush butter cream, ripe pear and dried apricot flavors. Seductive tropical fruit and spice notes linger on the endless finish, revealing citrusy hints. Drink now Rating: 96 The Wine Spectator, www.winespectator.com (Dec 2015)
