A punchy nose of warm blackberries and prunes on the nose and a lovely vigorous, mouth-coating palate. Not at all complex, but who cares! My Dad loved this and it even tickled Mrs H's fancy (and she's really not a fan of aged port).
Ace! I have two more bottles and will be looking forward to them over the next year or so.

Some Ports, mostly Martinez (Roy's): now, this was my flight favorite. the nose was chocolate and caramel, almost dessert-like, hinting at thick, syrupy promise. the palate was mostly blackberry, but altogether delicious. Not jammy, with good acidity and solid tannin. Not a lot of secondary flavors of note now - needs some time for those to appear, I believe. Wish I had a bottle to keep to try this out...

Concentrated purple syrup. Deep little alcoholic bouquet. Ripe cherries. Also in the mouth too alcoholic and a bit medical impressions.
