A6: A fruit driven nose. Silky, some spirit. Sweet entry. Maybe a little simple today along with some alcoholic power. Structure? Concentration? A decent bright acid cut to the fruity finish. A pleasant nearer term prospect perhaps.

Plum and chocolate on the nose. Very enjoyable deep, dark fruits. Complex with a lovely tannic structure. Very good.

Tasted sighted. Deep crimson, expressive nose, red fruit with a smokey edge a little vanilla on the palate. Good balance smooth and fruity. Perhaps an early drinker? 90.

Very fruit driven with reed cherry, boiled cherry sweets, confectionery and sweet spice. Finishes long and it is a good port, perhaps for earlier drinking as this is a lighter style, seems to lack certain depth of flavour. 16/20
