Decant: Pop 'n' pour - Very old tawny from the family reserve of Jorge Borges - see the Manuela 1970 family reserve colheita.
Light honey colour, 10% opaque. Light honey and marzipan on the nose, reminding of Golden Syrup. Very sercial-like in its acidic attack, very sharp and focussed. Delicate flavours of clover honey float among the lemon oil, quite thick in texture. Great length, feminine and delicate with a good lingering presence. The very end of the finish is surprisingly like crystallised honey. 88 points
