M&S11, made by Quinta & Vineyard. Solid 100% purple at centre, red-purple at rim. Nose has exotic fruit, perhaps pineapple, also sweet absinthe. Palate has heft, dominated by lots of tannin, balanced by some acidity. The same sweet absinthe is there, with red plums. This is a good Port, edge of shutting down, needing twenty years in the cellar.
Cork is printed not branded. Slap!

Quite possibly Quinta do Romariz or a specific blend make specifically for M&S

Re: 2011 Marks & Spencer
I think it is a specific blend for M&S. There is a thread from 2017 which mentions it.
