Very good. Needs lots of time.

2021 Ribero Santo Vinha de Maria Branco. Single vineyard old vine white. Tastes like a classic blend of encruzado, bical, and arinto.

JMdF TRILOGIA, Moscatel de Setubal - from a blend of 1900, 1934 and 1965 comes this great bottle, purchased a week ago (<280 Euros) and consumed two nights later. As wonderful as I remembered it to be, loaded with figs and prune flavors, soft, lt-med. weight, and the acidity is fresh but not overt here. Long crazy finish. 95 points.

2022 Quinta do Noval Branco Grande Reserva - need to keep my hands off this, but it ain't easy to do so. Every time I open one, my friends are blown away.

I have a bottle of this which I won at auction about 2 years ago ($135 all in for a 500 ml bottle), but haven't opened yet. When was yours bottled? They can stay in bottle and still be fresh for awhile, can't they?
