A clear and glistening dark rose red with a narrow rim. A lovely nose, elegant and full of fragrance, delicate and lovely and full of fruit. Balanced, smooth-textured entry; lots of fruit but with generous tannins with a very slight green tone. Nice levels of acidity giving a wonderful freshness to the fruit. A gentle chewy finish of black fruit pastilles and a long very tannic finish. A very distinguished Port with just so much refinement - the unanimous wine of the night. 94/100. Drunk 17-Mar-20. Decanted 21 hours.
