Our Expert's Recommendation
"This wine is now beginning to reach its full maturity and is likely to be ready for drinking. As it ages further, it will begin to develop gently into a more tawny style wine. Good full fleshy flavours with that dark chocolate aroma so often seen in top quality Vintage Port."
Press Comments
“Mid ruby with some brown hints. Fragrant, floral perfume. Rather captivating scent…sweet and luscious with a strong prune flavour…”.
"Medium to medium-full colour. Mature. Soft nose. Ripe and attractive. Now mellow. Excellent balance. Fullish body. Nicely succulent. Rich. Very good grip. Long and lovely. Very stylish. But no lack of vigour or depth. Very good indeed."
"An example of how this house’s young wines loose their hard edge and become elegant and racy…complex, perfumed cherry aromas…with silky tannins and a lovely balance of very elegant fruit flavors."
