  Tannin has mellowed since the last bottle, still very powerful and youthful, but what can I say, I am a fan of young port. some spice box on the nose, surprisingly bright fruits; dried cherries lingering finish - medium/long. Sure will be good for a long time - wait if you prefer ports to be well aged as its still tasting young; so if you enjoy ports in their relative youth (much more approchable than any of the 09's or than even 11's of the more major producers (taylors etc.) then now is your time.

  Popped and poured from 375ml
  Nice nose and palate, my wife found it not sweet enough. Certainly showed less rich sweetness than a Dows. I enjoyed the almost dry flavor profile that had some depth and richness. The sweetness is there but not as pronounced as one might expect.
  Would buy again.

  '95 was the big change in port - that is when every producer changed it style to make them more drinkable. Or at least that is what I am being told.
  
  Spicy and maybe a touch reductive. Powerful and delicious, of course.

  Lots of fresh berries, cherries. Delicious, smooth, tannins subdued. V sweet and dense, could use something to balance that sweetness.
