Jacobus Boelen slip label, probably Dutch-bottled. Rich but relatively light amber-brown, mahogany rim with a hint of green; rich fruit both fresh and caramellised, nuts, perfect harmony, excellent depth, delicately sweet; perfect weight, very elegant, beautiful balance, fabulous perfectly integrated tangy acidity, fleshy and velvety, medium-sweet, probably around 35 - 40 years on oak; excellent length. Truly outstanding Port.
