New bottle, revised blend. Ruby centre and a lighter rim, youthful looking. Soft and gentle raspberry flvoured nose which reveals a slight harhness on the nose when swirled. Soft fruity entry, a delicious strawberry at first and then wonderful refined tannins that deliver such an elegant palate. Gentle, refined and with a long bubble-gum finish. This is a lovely ruby port. 88/100. Tasted 24-Feb-15.
Top Ports in 2022: Quinta do Noval Nacional 1931. I have never drunk such a wonderful bottle of Port. I cried with joy.

2023: Fonseca 1966. There are not many better Ports, except a good bottle of Fonseca 1927. Wow!
