This bottle wasn't in its best form on this occasion. The typically glossy fruit felt slightly medicinal and the fruitcake had an overbaked molasses quality. Texture and weight was flawless, however. Not sure what happened here, but certainly stands out as a good value port all the same.

Silky, harmonius with lots of black fruits. It is developing nicely and I think there is a lot to go yet. Needs definetely decantig for like 2-3 hrs minimum. Nice bargain for vintage port, wont leave you breathless but enjoyable none the less.

Fantastic value. Definitely needs time, either in a decanter or your cellar. Glossy and stylish, a mess of fruitcakey gorgeousness and chocolate silk. One for your chocolate puddings or Stilton. Or just as a nightcap. Delicious.

This needs a couple of days to open up. On opening pleasant enough, lumpen undistinguished, day 1 tannic rather sharp, day 2 lovely soft and fragrant. Day 2 was in line with various mature vintages of Vargellas I have drunk, 1st time I have tried the Terra Feita. Probably needs a couple of years yet.
