Mz48. Dark red, 60%. Big, tannic, super-dry. Large acidity, great balance. What mature Port is meant to be.

[Alex Bridgeman]

A wonderful dark brick-red colour; 70% opaque. A fabulous nose, full of complex fruit and spices — so wonderfully expressive. A fabulous palate, big and full of flavour. Multiple layers of fruit wrapped around power and punchiness; rich and complex. Fabulous finish and aftertaste. This is a stunning Port. 96/100. 12-Dec-18.
