• Pale mahogany core surrounded by a broad pale gold rim with subtle olive highlights
• On first impression, the wine is lifted and ethereal but soon begins to unfurl layer after layer of multi-dimensional aroma
• First to emerge are notes of sawn wood and cigar leaf, against a background of cedar, balsam and citrus
• Warmer, mellow redolence of marzipan, walnut and coffee, notes of sultana and plum and spicy hints of black pepper and cardamom
• Finally, the nose opens up a discreet savoury dimension, with hints of toast and wild herbs
• On the palate, the wine has a smooth, velvety texture. Rich, dense and sumptuous, it coats the tongue with opulent mellow flavour, coffee and butterscotch with hints of walnut and candied orange peel, but with a remarkable freshness
• Lively acidity which runs through the palate into the extraordinary long finish

A wonderfully elegantvintage port, finely constituted and beautifully matured port delivering a surge of rich flavour with every sip.
