CR83: only the briefest of notes taken. Red, 50% opaque. Mid-weight, heat mid palate.

Nice nose - sweet entry. Excellent drinking port - not big, just very good port.

Mid red colour; 30% opaque. Orange and fresh basil on the nose. Medium bodied, sweet and fruity. Perhaps a little too acidic, but with generous levels of fruit. Dry and slightly woody tone to the finish. Sweetness dominates the finish. Slightly unbalanced, but still attractive. 84/100.
