This is a great Port, from a great brand. It is packed with solid, structured, rich and intense black fruit flavors. Its tannins show considerable aging potential. It is a big, ripe wine, balanced by a long, lingering dark aftertaste.
Violets, roses, spices, and candied dark fruits emanate from the glass...soft layers of oily, candied red fruits as well as notes of tar and hints of mocha.
..huge & rich in fruit, with wonderfully lush, complex flavors of cassis, violet, minerals, spices, flowers & exotic chocolate. The tannins are seductively sweet,yet the finish boasts terrific focus, not to mention outstanding persistence..
Loads of tar and blackberry aromas follow through to a full-bodied palate, with medium sweetness, big, velvety tannins and a long finish. A big, juicy wine.
...Round and sumptuous with the most massive charge of ripe fruit..
