JAMES SUCKLING - 95 POINTS This shows notes of ripe bark and berries, with dried flowers, chocolate and toffee. Some earthy undertones, too. Full body. It’s rich and creamy with moderate sweetness and a bed of fine tannins that give a velvety and chocolaty mouthfeel. Long and seamless. Better after 2027.
WINE SPECTATOR - 93 POINTS A fleshy, generous Port led by enticing blackberry and açaí berry compote flavors. Reveals light licorice root, alder and fruitcake accents that emerge steadily through the finish, which tilts to the dry side and shows a subtle graphite note. Best from 2033 through 2045. 2,500 cases made, 120 cases imported. Published on February 28, 2023
