Wine Critic Reviews

Andreas Larsson - Tasted (93): Deep golden towards amber colour. Nutty, spicy and complex nose with dried apricot, honey and tobacco. Great bite on the palate, high sweetness but balanced by a backbone of balanced alcohol and acidity, flavours of crushed nuts, dried fruit, nougat and a long vigorous finish. Really good.

Grandes Escolhas (85): Caramelized notes on the aroma, with brown sugar, suggestions of toasted almonds and herbal liqueurs. On the palate, it shows good finesse and elegance, a fresh profile that maintains ease of tasting, it is a soft, fat but not heavy white, well balanced in all aspects of the tasting.

Wine Enthusiast (90): Fresh and fruity with lemon and orange flavors, this is a tangy, zesty wine that bursts with acidity and bright fruitiness. It is concentrated, ripe and certainly dry.

Revista de Vinhos (80): Smooth on the aroma (which at first almost doesn't remind of Porto), light notes of dried fruits, apricot and peach, almond touch. Very elegant on the palate, sweet but balanced, soft and prolonged finish.
