[Doggett]

QH85 Smooth, fruity, strong heat with a long finish. A good port. 88/89 points

[Alex Bridgeman]

Slightly hazy appearance, mild red in colour. Slightly sour cranberries on the nose. Mild sweet fruit on the palate with some dryness under the fruit providing structure but there is a persistent and unattractive dirtiness. Patience and air releases some fragrance. Mild port, but pleasant enough. 83/100.

QH85. Red red orange. Nose showing sweetness. Palate has all of dark plum, bitterness, and grit. Which made for lovely drinking.
