Prémios e Recomendações
2016
Jancis Robinson, Julia Harding MW, Reino Unido | 18/20 PTS, “Light burnt sienna colour. Less expressive on the nose than the 30 Year Old, more nutty but still with that orange marmalade tang. On the palate, a fine bitter-orange freshness, and a touch of burnt toffee. Wonderful and impressive concentration and length. Sour fresh intensity.”

Robert Parker – Wine Advocate, MarK Squires, EUA | 95/100 PTS, “Its sugary with an endless finish. It adds a layer or two of depth to the 20, but it is so sexy and so rich that it seems a bit less complex, which is not always the way this works in comparing 20s and 40s. As it airs out and that first rush blows off, though, you do begin to get the complexity this has in spades. It is more piercing and gripping. You eventually taste the treacle and concentrated molasses underneath. You realize how fine it is when you notice that the powerful and sugary finish never seems to end.”
Wine Enthusiast, Roger Voss, EUA | 92/100 PTS, “It’s old-gold color says it all. This luscious, liquorous wine has a tangy edge to go alongside the acidity, the raisin fruits and flavors of long wood aging. It’s not so much fresh as still very alive and poised. Drink now.”
