Perhaps the finest 30 year old we ever tasted -- layers of caramel, penuche and butterscotch-- an extremely refined blend. “Soft,rich but not unctuous. Lovely balance of dried apricots & nutty complexity. Good poise with an attractive nose, great age and perfect balance.” Decanter, only 5-Star 30.

"Although part of Barros, Kopke still operates relatively independently, and obviously can draw on good stocks of aged tawnys. This wine certainly tastes all of 20 years, with its richness and dryness finely in balance, and with lemon jelly and intense ripe fruits shining through." —Roger Voss, August 01, 2006.
90 Points, Wine Spectator.
"Very interesting aromas of maple syrup, honey, and mahogany. Full-bodied, very rich with a decadent butterscotch and nutty aftertaste. Very typical." —James Suckling, 2003.
