Decant: Pop 'n' pour - Bottled 2010 in a dumpy bottle; Fortnum & Mason BOB label. Pale orange, the colour of barley sugar, 10% opaque. Lemon grass on the nose, smelling rather acidic. Neutral and hollow entry but grows pleasantly on the palate to deliver delicate clover honey and lemon. Hot aftertaste with a sour gooseberry finish of good length. Very light and fragrant. The aftertaste is the best feature of the port, but this is not a port to my taste. 84 points
