Opaque centre. Fragrant nose, elegant and full of fruit. The fruit on the palate is smooth and lovely, dominating the palate experience but there are terrific ripe tannins giving support. Smooth black cherry and tannins provide a finish that is a little shorter than some, but very nice. This is a great value-for-money port from this vintage. 89-91.

Tasted 12 September 2018.
