Color is deep red, almost black, smell is heavy with lots of fruit. First sip is spicey, lots of alcohol. Burns a little in the back of the throat. Not to much tannins at this point.
Silky velvet sensation on the tip of the tongue, also a bit dry. Aftertaste is filled with fruit like figs, pears and apples. Wonderful long aftertaste.
Score 92

edit: gets better and better every day. Sweet silky wine now, this is going to be my house-port for the time being. Highly recommended. I rate it 94 points now.

Hi,

I've opens a bottle with weekend... with cheese "Serra da Estrela"... Wow!!!

With a red color, it presented a bouquet of red ripe fruits combined touches of wood. Strong in the mouth, good structure and it was the perfect wedddig nwith the cheese....

I like this a lot too. It is not easy to find in my area, with all the Rocha and Kopke branded Port available ... all else (locally) is hard to come by. Fortunately with the internet and getting wine shipped from another state, it is a bit easier. This is one of the better LBVs I had in 2007.
