Decanted 2 Hours
Lovely bright red colour. Deliciously fruity nose. Smooth, thick and classy with good levels of red fruits and a long mouthwatering finish. This is great juice - I need more!
From my two previous experiences I expect this to be even better tomorrow.

Darker than last night and now a spicy edge to the nose. Thick and viscous in the mouth. A touch of heat but nothing too distracting. Lots of red cherry and a huge long finish. My cheeks are literaly running with saliva (sorry) during the finish.
What I find most impressive about this port is the quality to price ratio. It can be bought from retail outlets at around £17, which is £5-£7 cheaper than lots of SQVP's are punted in supermarkets, and to my taste this would be in the top 10% of anything you would find on those shelves.
At £200 a case it becomes a no-brainer - if it ever came up at auction I'm sure it would feel like stealing
