According to the label, this was late bottled, although no bottling date was given. Modest orange in colour, with a hint of apple-green on the rim. Smokey nose, with lots of Lapsang Souchong tea over some gentle lychee. Soft and gentle texture, with light golden syrup wrapped around a gentle sweet and bitter marmalade. Great volume on the palate. Lovely gentle, dusty tannins sit on the palate. Lovely complex finish - sweet and orange. Very fine. 92/100.

An interesting chance to try a bit of port history's.
Smells "old" but not musty, evolved, soft and sugary on the palate and would have been slightly unremarkable but for a fantastic explosion of flavour on the long, persistent finish. Really quite remarkable.

Tawny orange, 15% opaque. In palate soft, with oranges and a hint of lavender.
