Bottled 2012. Brick red and quite dark, 70% opaque. Tawny nose, lively and promising to be full of acidity, A lovely entry, full of toast and cranberries with distinctly tawny characteristics. The sweetness is offset by lovely acidity. A warm glow on the aftertaste and a slight dryness to the finish. This is a delicious and powerful port with a good body and a good texture. Served blind this was guessed to be Noval 1978 colheita. 89/100.
