  Quite luscious, and also more apparent sweetness than most tawny ports I've had. Interesting and fun, but not for me.

  Much lighter colour than expected. I drink a decent amount of vintage port and big reds and this is so much lighter and more translucent. The palate is lucious and unctuous like cordinal. The long after taste is the highlight. Elegant port rather than big and deep which is probably what I hoped for but hey Im not a tawny expert.

  Far too sweet with little acid.
