Cá83. red, 40% opaque. Simple; basic light Port.

[Alex Bridgeman]

Light red colour with a pale rose rim, 30% opaque. An attractive nose of slightly caramelised fruit. Light fruit entry with toffee and rhubarb, gaining weight on the palate while retaining an attractive balance of fruit and acidity. The fruit and acidity combine to give a lovely forced rhubarb finish. Really nice drinking and showing quite youthful. 91/100. Decanted 4 hours.
