94 points/'Editors' Choice,' Wine Enthusiast: "This blend of Galego Dourado, Arinto and Ratinho is aged for 15 years in wood and comes from Portugal's smallest appellation. The long wood aging of this wine has given it an intensity that comes from great concentration. It has a beautiful texture and touches of honey and spice that are memorable. Drink now. Alcohol 18.5%. (Dec 2020)"
Once one of the great fortified wines of Portugal, today this is the last remaining producer of Carcavelos - a wine made of native grapes, fortified while still a touch sweet, and then aged like tawny Port with plenty of oxidization. It drinks like a mellow Madeira, loaded with toasted hazelnut, burnt sugar, fig, orange peel and dried apricot aromas and flavors and finishing vibrant, mouthwatering, and super long. A fine match for almond cookies or cake, great with cheeses, and a winner with savory seafood soups.
