Fine, deep color with red brick edge. Good depth of nose, sweet and harmonious, a little spirit on the nose, rich and smooth touches of dark chocolate and cherry (cherry tomatoes). Harmonious and elegant wine, some fine structure with exciting notes of spices and mint, very concentrated, soft fruits. A delicious Vintage Port now with good tannins to carry you into old age. It feels softer than normal. Closing the nose. Large fruits, currants and blackberries, very intense jams with notes of cocoa and firm, silky tannins. Powerful Vintage Port. Fine and ripe fruit, good expression, cherry, a charming character.
