Bottled 2019. Drunk over nearly a week. Beautiful balanced port with notes of walnuts, licorice and caramel. Kept well in the fridge and had, rather surprisingly, some sediment making the last glasses a bit cloudy. The 2001 colheita seems richer but I find this is better balanced.

Bottled 2021. Quite deep brownish colour. Nose of brown sugar with hints of licorice. Best on the third day at 14-15 degrees, where it has a luscious mouthfeel, quite a lot of sweetness, hints of camphor from the alcohol and very little acidity. Excellent wine though stylistically I prefer the drier and more bual-like Dow 20 years.

Bottled in 2018. No formal notes...after dinner served with nuts. Delicious! Unctuous and smooth and sirupy caramel flavours. Beautiful! 92+
