Soft red colour, opaque. Lovely sweet strawberries and icing sugar on the nose. Elegant and mid-weight entry with plenty of fruit and tannins delivering a great chewy palate. Good aftertaste and finish. This is a great ruby. 89/100. 24-May-17.
Morgadio de Calcada produced vintage port (vinified by Dirk Niepoort) in 2007 and 2011 and, at the time of writing this note, were undecided whether or not to release 2015.
