Sweet notes of dull nut mixed with roasted and peeled almonds and a hint of cognac. Soft, velvety and round, with caramel cream and Frangelico flavors. Creamy in the beginning, it shows its strength and structure, evolving very well and ending long and firm. Quinta da Devesa Port Wines are produced exclusively from vinified and matured batches on site. Since 1941, crops considered of superior quality by the family's winemakers have been stored and aged in wooden hooves. These special wines are now used to produce the Port Wines Quinta da Devesa. Robert Parker notes of Mark Squires: "The style here is acidity and complexity. The tawnies eschew fruitiness in favor of complexity, making even the 10 seem older than it is. Not everyone will prefer that style, but I liked it great. It gave them some distinction. Often they exceeded their categories."
