See Shirazity below for detailed. This is clearly still young and figs and plums are the most noticeable fruit flavour. We’ll put together and if you like your port young without the softer velvet wrapping that another 10 years adds, this is a good one for you.

Spectacular port, still inky black in color with full-bodied fruit. Aromas of black and blue fruit, spice, and loamy earth. Palate is rich and jammy, with plenty of soft, silky tannins balancing out the fruit nicely. Alcohol is almost not noticeable. Soft and long finish, with just a subtle grip left. Many years to go but very enjoyable now

A slight hesitation, a hint of cork? or too much wood? In fact, you could blow it away, but I wasn't certain about effects on the wine. Chunky powerful, some ripeness in the aftertaste, not showing a lot of nuances (in this bottle).

Pure satin, mouthcoating fig and blackbery Jam. Alcohol prominent on finish, makes it pack a wallop. This is gliding through it's drinking window.
