ROC76c, cask sample bottled 2023: gentle honey-brown; 40%. Delicious nose marked by the lavender VA of a venerable wood aged Port. Balanced palate, lovely floral honey and intense acidity. Rounded. Very long finish. 91/100. Tasted in the Royal Oporto masterclass at the BFT on 20-Apr-23. Decanted 1 hour.
