Opened as part of a port tasting with friends to introduce them to a number of styles.
A beauty of a port but still such a baby right now. It's past its ugly teenage years but still has so much of its charm in its fruit forward nose and palate. Beautifully balanced with a touch of white pepper spicing things up and some late tannic grip, this is extremely drinkable right now but seems to have plenty in the tank to go for a while in the cellar. I was focused more on the company (who were very enthusiastic about this port in particular) than my tasting notes by this point in the evening but this is a very good port indeed.
