Showing fine focus and significant power, this has a Vintage Port feel, without the vintage price or single vintage date. (That’s the point…) Tight, crisp and intense, this has a beautiful flavour underneath the haze of tannins. Aromatic and finishing with a bit of sugar, it is an undeveloped Port that needs some more time in bottle. It has fine flavour and plenty of power, but if I had a quibble, the alcohol does seem to pop up here and there. It gives this a hard edge at times. I would still bet on this, but it does require some patience. It seems to have a bright future if it matures as well as I think it will. Give it a few more years to settle down and then Iit should drink well over the next 20 years or so, maybe more. We’ll see when we get there. December 2015.
