[Alex Bridgeman]

Oporto bottled. Pale bronze in colour, 20% opaque. Richly spiced red fruit on the nose. Medium bodied with some lovely mature fruit. A little dried out on a re-taste but these is still plenty of fully mature fruit. Spiced apple aftertaste and an aniseed finish. Rather delicious and fully mature. 89/100.
