Picture of bottle in planning thread.

Bottled in the UK by Dolamore, sealed with a cork branded Dolamore. There was some speculation that this wine might be a blend of different shippers, similar to the Avery own blends.

Deep red colour, one of the darkest wines at this tasting. Attractive and perfumed on the nose, showing sweet and dark fruit. The fruit also comes through on the palate, big and youthful; lively with just a hint of tannin. The tannin and fruit combine to give a very enjoyable chewy finish of wonderful red fruit. Lovely Port. 94/100.

45% opacity, mature red. Lovely chewy full strawberries, great structure and balance. Still feels young with more to come! Super port - my WOTN.

Beautiful dark colour. A bit dumb on nose. Lovely rich fruit. Full, powerful, noble port, only now really hitting its stride. My WOTN.
