Bottle decanted at 7am from a batch from which we have previously enjoyed a good bottle. Level at BN, nice mid-red colour and nothing to suggest that it won't be another good bottle.

25% opacity, orange-brown with a copper rim. A wonderful burst of flavours right across the palate. Oranges in there. Very fine and enjoyable port. Finish not quite as impressive as the G60 tasted alongside.

Burnished orange colour; 30% opaque. Empty nose showing nothing. Mature and ripe fruit on entry with a modest weight, very dry and with gentle tannins. Rather straightforward. Surprisingly the wine blossoms on the aftertaste with a delicious explosion of fruit and flowers before a finish full of cranberry, very long and with hints of greeness on the late finish. Very enjoyable. 87/100.

D60. Red-red-orange, 40% opaque. Palate soft and lovely, with heat, but slightly drying out.
