Nose quite dumb. Exuberant red fruit on front palate. Waves of fresh blackcurrant towards the end, and on the warming finish. Attractive port, but very young.

Deep purple fading. Good nose but floral. Some marzipan. Enjoyable. In the mouth, quite elegant. Low acidity and tannin. Blackcurrants. Very drinkable now.

* A Note on Ratings
My rating system attempts to answer the question “is this a good Port?” one of three ways: N—No; P—Possibly; or C—Certainly. Ports generally are rated against others of their category. Therefore, a Ruby Port which I rate as C for Certainly good, might not be as good as a Vintage Port which receives the same rating. I sometimes modify my rating with a plus or minus indicating that the Port is better or worse than might be expected for this category.
