Opened at 19.00 the night before the tasting, decanted at 10.30 and tasted at 18.50.
A mature red colour, but having lost quite a lot of pigment only around 50% opaque. At first, little shows on the nose other than spirit but patience allows some sweet redcurrant to develop. Nice texture on the palate, bringing delicious sweet red fruit and a bit of complexity. The finish is long and full of warming aniseed. A delightful Port. 88/100. Tasted at the TPF Awards on 07-Feb-23. Decanted 8½ hours.
