Horácio Simões Moscatel Roxo Single Cask

Just opened a bottle of Horácio Simões Moscatel Roxo Single Cask.
The bottle states it tends to create sediment. No kidding. The wine is a dark reddish brown, cloudy with sediment, and the bottle has a substantial amount of chunky sediment at the bottom. Drinks like maple syrup. Mild acidity comes in late and builds through the finish. Unbalanced towards sweet, but what a rich mouthful! My knowledge of Portuguese Moscatel is limited, so I won't attempt to score this yet. Will do a full review as I get into the bottle.

Question(s): Does anyone know much about this bottling? How old? Process particulars?

Thx!

No one has had this? Or knows how old the wine in these bottling's tend to be?
Gee, I've become quite the pioneer! 8--)
