An unknown, identified from the cork. Deep red, 70% opaque. Gentle sweet cranberries on the nose. Soft entry, but builds nicely on the palate to deliver pepper and a bit of spirit; intense mature fruit on the mid-palate. Big aftertaste, deeply flavoured finish. A lovely and youthful bottle of this wine. 93/100

Some bottle stink on the nose initially - a huge wine with lots of tannin and fabulous chocolate sweetness. Great port.
