20% opacity, yellow-brown. Wonderful nose, menthol and strawberry. No notes on taste. incorrectly guessed to be D60.

Very pale rose in colour, <10% opaque. Plastic on the nose but swirling improves this. Nice texture, but also has a sharp tone and some harshness on the initial impression. Good fruit develops on the mid-palate, sweet and attractive dusty fruit that is more elegant than I normally expect. A lovely raisin finish with the tannins still active. Enjoyable port. 92/100.
