40% opacity, red amber. Wonderful rich notes, christmascake, menthol. Full mouthfeel, white pepper, dark fruit in the background. Finish a little tart.

Bottled by Grants of St. James's. Copper red colour, 40% opaque. A lovely nose, sweet and fragrant fruit gently spiced with mace and All Spice. Smooth texture, mature fruit with a coffee undertone. Rich, dried red fruit and dried figs; complex and very finely balanced giving an impression of richness and decadence. Some slight heat shows on the aftertaste before a fabulous complex and flavoursome finish takes over. A lovely mature Port. Served blind, this was guessed to be Taylor Vargellas 1970. 92/100. Decanted 6½ hours.
