Fresh and focused, with a mix of peach cobbler, dried white nectarine, cinnamon and bitter almond notes all zipped up with a bitter orange thread on the finish. Delicious. J.M.

Ruby brown with an orange and lemon-yellow edge. Intense aromas of dried citrus, some volatility (which adds to the complexity), almonds, treacle tart and caramel. A fantastically full-bodied, dense and very layered, chewy palate that remains so sweet and decadent. Love the mango and dried-peach undertones on the finish. Drink now.

EDITOR\’S CHOICE – This is a beautiful wine, aged tawny at its peak. The wood aging has given the old gold character that shines though the spirit, the sweet nuttiness and hints of red fruits to give a plushy, wood-paneled wine that, of course, is ready to drink.

It is here in the lineup that you get a livelier Porto with a fine expression of fruitbut also a bit more of a brandy nuance, just a bit. It is a bit woody as well. The \”old tawny\” flavors then mingle with the brandy to create a dry and very serious feel. Still, this powerful tawny is gripping on the finish, intense and long. There\’s a spicy nuance on the fresh and juicy finish that I just loved. The fruit is nicely lifted, and it just seems very fresh. In the new Dow lineup, this might be the liveliest and the brightest, the one with the freshest feel.
