Not very dense color, it's possible to see trough it. You can see thet already isn't a young Port. It's got a wide maroon rim, clear with sheen. Nice color. In nose,from the first moment, it has got very open aroma that flood you with an agreeable sensation. You notice very little alcohol, you can feel the red fruits (cherry) jam aromas and some chocolate. It fill the mouth completely. it has the right point of sweetness, soft, some alcohol, with a good harmony of flavors and without none manages to be nuisance to the rest.

The aroma is more subtle than before. It's got pure chocolate (like Lint 99%) aroma. Pleassant flavor, good joinand long posttaste. It has lost the alcohol, nothing stands out especially, but yes a fantastic set.
