"The non-vintage 5-Year-Old Bual is showing a tad excessive volatility on the nose, which rather obfuscates the personality of the grape variety. The palate is elegant on the entry, which rings more true of a richer Verdelho than a Bual. It is very well crafted with light nougat and spice on the finish. The aromatics clear up with aeration. This is a pleasant Bual, but personally I would trade up to the 10-Year-Old." -Robert Parker

"A supple, suave style, with flavors of dried peach, apple and guava, matched to smoky and minerally notes. The creamy finish is long and lush, featuring some dried citrus accents. Drink now through 2030."
