Really good fireside port. Spicy, vibrant, long in the mouth. Something slightly like Chorizo going on here. A bit light, and a bit wanting of fruit, but giving pleasure and quite easy to consume.

88 points (WOTN)

A very respectable port that ran Noval and Niepoort a close race for WOTN.

Good colour, good structure, elegant.

It was also the only wine from this vintage that really felt immature still - another ten years will do no harm.

My WOTN, really very good indeed and the only wine that still was a bit closed. Still very nice colour (darkish red), good length and vibrance. The palate is nice but not too full. Overall very nice indeed!

I found the nose a touch off and unpleasant. In the mouth, immediately struck by the sweetness but this was followed by a long an slightly astringent finish which wasn't so appealing.

Bottled by Martinez, deep in colour with promise of an ability to age further. Little showing on the nose. Sweet mulberries on the palate; a lovely palate presence with very soft tannin showing through to give a dlightful structure and balance. Sweet fruit dominates the aftertaste, before a long finish of dark chocolate and sour cranberries. Really impressive port. Very enjoyable. 91/100.
