Some red fruits on the nose. Nice, mature and elegant port - very concentrated but lacking fruit on the palate. Not as baked as I expected. Nice stuff for drinking now.
Tasted

This was my farourite of the first three ports, I normally think of this wine as a great example of Douro bake, the 89 and I believe the 90 were stored in the Douro before temperate control, this bottle really did not show Douro bake at all which was a big surprise. A very enjoyable bottle but towards the end of the tasting it really dropped off, recommend a limited decant for maximum enjoyment.
