| Community Tasting Notes (average 84.7 pts. and median of 88 pts. in 11 notes) - hiding notes with no text | | Tasted by EMichels on 12/10/2022 & rated 92 points: Light color; Nice character; A bit of raisin; Very nice (508 views) | | Tasted by canan on 8/26/2022 & rated 88 points: Noval VP mini-vertical (P81): Sewer and some VA but not in a defective way. There is some red currant and cherry fruit but also glue/VA. Lovely and developed wine but it is disjointed and has a short aftertaste. Otherwise a fine balance.

Lovely figgy joy, quite lightweight or resolved (does port get resolved?) but beautifully balanced. No alarming alcohol heat here just a charming, fleshy, glass of happiness...actually we finished about half the bottle. Went beautifully with the cheeses and various hurrahs whilst watching Master and Commander...pity we didn't have any Madeira... (1293 views) | | Tasted by logos on 2/10/2019 & rated 71 points: quite pale, tawny-tinged. very light body, rather thin texture. much like previous note; declining, but holding in there and quite agreeable still, especially the long, aromatic aftertaste. (2183 views) | | Tasted by crazywineguy on 3/4/2017 & rated 90 points: The 7th wine (and second port) of the night so comments a bit unfocused and recorded next day. Very light colour, pale, pale tawny. Had thrown deep crust in bottle. A very light smooth VP, easy to drink and a light shadow of earlier years I suspect but wonderfully smooth spirit and complex old notes of varnish and subtle wood esters. Probably on a downhill trajectory, no reason to cellar longer. Agree very much with Logos on description but can't fathom others scoring for this wine. (3099 views) | | Tasted by logos on 3/2/2016 & rated 72 points: pale, slightly tawny, reddish colour; lightly woody, delicate nose of refined fruit,faded flowers and neutral brandy. light bodied for a port; no apparent tannin but penetrating taste. delicate flavour of classy, almost transparent fruit; good length, harmonious finish. past prime but still very good.
