Tasting Notes
SFE Tasting Room Team critic
Very dark red colour. On the nose excellent red fruit aromas, and with floral characteristics such as violets. On the palate showing a fine robust structure, with silky tannins and a long and peppery finish.
International Wine Challenge (competition) critic
Still in its youth, this intense, almost black Port is really one for the gods. It is silky smooth with violets, prunes figs and raisins. Its smoky weight and spicy, floral fruit are embedded in the elegant velvet finish. Score: Gold Medal
