Opened for lunch at a seafood restaurant in Matsosinhos.
Mature brick red colour, 30% opaque. A wonderful fragrant nose bringing lots of sweet Turkish Delight. Jellied red fruits slide onto the palate, lively and vibrant, delivering a port that is not as dry as might have been expected. A spark of light flares on the aftertaste, which brightens the aftertaste and long, fruity and delicious finish. Great port. 93/100. 21-Jun-17. Decanted 4½ hours.
