Excellent as a youngster, definitely fruit forward, with some menthol aftertaste protruding into an otherwise etheral experience, has potential to be a 95-97 pointer. Not in my top 3 port list, but darn close.

I am now ready to annoint this fabulous port wine with a once-in-a-lifetime 100 point score. I think more than any other port I have tried over the many years (and that definitely runs the gamet) this one has the stuffing to develop into a perfect 100-pointer.

Terrific deep red berry nose, more crushed berries continue to overwhelm the palate for 45+ seconds. An excellent example of a stellar 2007 CDP. Needs a few more years in bottle for the tannins to integrate.
