Reviews and Ratings

Jane Staples - Certified Sommelier rated this wine as 94/100 with the following review:

This beautiful dark amber-coloured Tawny Port from Portugal's historic Douro region was aged 10 yrs in oak. Aromatic toffee, orange rind, nuts and smoke flow through a rich, buttery, layered palate with a velvety mouthfeel and seductive chocolate/toffee finish. Enjoy with biscotti and a special someone.
Tasted Jan. 2017
Jon Steeves - Sommelier rated this wine as 91/100 with the following review:

A beautiful brick with garnet hue Tawny Porto 10 years. Declared 20% ABV. Persistence of dried fig, hazelnut, dried prune, plum, chocolate on a lingering long finish. Pair with an aged cheese platter or a dark chocolate mousse, or espresso terrine. Tasted April 2017. 91 points.
Quite a lovely 10 year old Tawny Port from the Douro, region, Cálem is a winner with pecan pie, and all things chocolate. - Community Wine Reviews

Natalie MacLean is a new force in the wine writing world ‐ a feisty North American answer to Hugh Johnson and Jancis Robinson. She can write beautifully about wine.

The Financial Times of London

There are very few people in the wine world who "get it" and Natalie is one of those who brings more fun to a buttoned-up and stodgy game.
