Ridiculously good. Drier Dow style (but sweet), throws big sediment, sweet black fruits and good length. Comments about a lack of complexity are weak. Is it 55 or 63 Noval or Fonseca? No, but it is pretty damn good. I'd buy this by the case for your Port needs. LBVs usually the sweet spot for Port, and this reinforces that observation. .

From 75cl, decanted probably 3 hours(?) Entry closed, tight, stern tannic grip on the finish. Not sure this will improve, but should it open up or smooth out that would be a relief. 86–88P

Dry, light black cherry, tight and closed or maybe just lacking in depth.

Lovely sweet fruit, but hard to find complexity right now. Not really anything over a regular Ruby, but also not that expensive.
