Decanted 10 hrs. Medium red colour with a touch of brown. Aroma with sweet overtones, and consisting of wet wood, minerals, old leather and strawberries. Medium to full body. Smooth and well balanced. Nice tannins. Taste with a nice combination of mature berries, chocolate, cherries, caramelized sugar and actually a hint of pepper. Long aftertaste. Seems for me to be a single quinta vintage port that is possibly at its top. 90 pts.
