		Tasting Notes "...The nose is beautiful, harmonious and nuanced: Seville orange marmalade, fig jam, smoke and light waxy aromas. This attests to a supremely gifted grape variety. The palate is well-balanced, with a honeyed texture and a keen thread of acidity. It's effervescent in the mouth. Peppercorns and orange rind appear towards a finish that fans out gloriously and lingers. Beautiful. 1,248 bottles released (plus other formats). 2024-2050. 95 points." Neal Martin, Vinous------"Terrantez grapes from Câmarade Loboa. Aged in the canteiro system, in 650-litre casks...19.5 points." (TC) jancisrobinson.com, Aug '24.------"...mid-deep golden amber colour; gently lifted, lightly caramelised citrus peel on the nose and a touch of contrasting sour plum, fresh fig and delicate crystalised fruit; glorious bitter-sweet counterpoint on the palate reflecting the nose, Elvas plum and sour cherry with textural richness, depth and a touch of tobacco and all-spice that continues through on to a long, lithe yet complex finish...Great poise. A truly thrilling wine that reflects the brilliance of the Terrantez grape at its very best. It is greatly reassuring that wines like this (unique to Madeira) are still being bottled and released for sale. 20 points, 5 stars." Richard Mayson------"Made from the rarest of varieties, found in only a few parcels in Madeira because it is so low yielding, this is a medium-sweet wine. It is an impressive survivor, a wood-aged wine that is so dense and concentrated. Beautifully rounded, cut with spirit, the wine is ready to drink. 94 points." Roger Voss, Wine Enthusiast

		Tasting Notes "...harmonious and focused on the nose: Clementine, marmalade, candle wax and grilled hazelnuts. There's just the right amount of VA to give it lift. The palate is medium-bodied with a smooth texture. The acidity is such that it completely counterbalances the residual sugar, making it fresh…buoyant even! Elegant and poised on the finish, this Bual comes highly recommended. 1,593 bottles released (plus other formats). 2024-2050. 94 points." Neal Martin, Vinous------"Bual grapes from Calheta. Aged in the canteiro system, in 650-litre casks...peaty, dark, ginger-chocolate nose, slightly lifted by acetone, in the prettiest way....apricot, and chocolate. Praline, and quince...19.5 points." (TC) jancisrobinson.com, Aug '24.------"...mid-deep nut brown with an olive-green glint on the finish; heavenly aromas, savoury, almost beefy foremost initially, old furniture complexity with a backdrop of blossom and spice slowly rising to the fore; wonderfully textural richness, sweet and savoury with a tang of thick-cut marmalade mid-palate, that marmalade richness and cut of citrus continues through on to the finish which is full and complete. Seemingly quite sweet with 115g/l residual sugar, the acidity (9.05g/l) offsets this and leaves a crystal-clear expression on the finish. Very accomplished Bual. 95 points." Roger Voss, Wine Enthusiast 11.01.24------"With long wood aging, this Madeira has developed a dense golden-tan color. Age shines through this floral, aromatic, concentrated medium-sweet wine. It is fascinating, the wood and spirit showing no sign of diminishing the wine's fruit and sugared orange flavor. Drink now. 19 points, 5 stars." Richard Mayson
