Posted: Thu Sep 02, 2010 12:13 am
Decant: 5 hours - Very deep red colour with a solid and opaque centre. Rich blackcurrants on the nose that get more pronounced as you swirl. Tannic still in the mouth, still very young, solid and powerful. Superb complexity and development in the mid-palate. The aftertaste is lovely, and lasts a very long time that remains sticky on the lips dor a good time. A great port that will be better in 20 years. 7/8. 92 points
