Orange in the centre but fading to the edge. Limited nose. Some orange and toffee. In the mouth, very unctuous. Limited fruit. Oranges again. Nice long aftertaste. Good but not spectacular.

* 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.
