1927 Val de Mendiz

[Alex Bridgeman]

Bottled by Arthur H…odfree & Co Ltd, 11 Arundel Street, London WC2. Mature brick red in colour. A slightly oxidised nose but still with fruit on it. Soft fruit jelly entry, with a lovely intensity of fruit and spices building with time on the palate. Quite sweet, but with enough acidity to balance it. Enjoyable layers of flavour. A very nice aftertaste and a finish that is long and fruity with a pleasant slight bitterness. This is good port. 89/100. Drunk 24-Sep-14. Decanted 5 hours.
