[Alex Bridgeman]

N55. Spiced sweet fruit on the nose, gentley yet wonderfully spiced. Nicely balanced on the palate with plenty of fruit and delicious spiciness. Vibrant aftertaste with cinammon and dried red fruit. The aftertaste is relatively short and sweet. Perfectly acceptable Port, but not special. 88/100.
