Bottled 2021. Rancio on the nose, smelling a little maderised. Burnt orange and coffee on the palate, gentle lemon acidity with plenty of brown sugar. Great acidity on the aftertaste; a little coffee and tannin leads on to a long burnt sugar finish. 88/100. Tasted 16-May-2024.

1971 TSHT. Med dark tawny, some brown. Nose has a bready/yeasty note and is slightly sour. Easy on the palate but seems pretty thin. 92 points.

Greenish rim. Lighter textured than the 1970. Good.

45% oapcity, brown-orange. Big orange fest.
