For The Love Of Port

(900 bottles in 2005) Sparklingly bright tawny/amber. Warm bouquet of toffee apple, raisins and a hint of acetone reminiscent of Evostik wood glue. Bright uplifting flavours of caramel, coffee and fresh lemon juice and only just medium dry. Very fresh and clean, it’s hard to believe that this wine has been in a cask for 20yrs. Tangy, alive and with masses of grip and bite, this is completely different from the 1980 Verdelho which seems a little dull by comparison. One for the grandchildren. Outstanding.
