Red, 50% opaque. Indeterminate nose. Pontefract cakes again in the mouth, and red liquorice. Quite a likeable and quite savoury port if, like this example, you get a good bottle.
Still fairly deep colour; initially thought it was maybe a bit dirty on the nose with some odd notes. Much better in the mouth, although alcohol a bit out of balance, still some drying tannin.
Later on, nose was better with some nice development, but alcohol still too forward.
