Very lite cherry color, hint of bricking on the rim with some alcohol on the nose here. Good tannins/chocolate/blackcurrant/medium sweet/ good finish/prune/raisins. Quite drinkable still, nice layers of fruits here. Lasted very well over 4 days but best on day 3.

SAQ : Son nez de cannelle et d'anis est à découvrir. Des arômes de figue séchée et de raisins de Corinthe se retrouvent tant au nez qu’à la bouche pour donner un porto bien corsé. C’est un délice avec les desserts aux fruits rouges et au chocolat, les dattes farcies au bleu, les fromages relevés comme le cheddar fort ou le cheddar au porto.

Good value LBV. Ready to drink. On the food pairings it showed better than the Dona Maria vintage 2002 (too young). It is not a better wine but it paired better due to its readiness.

Very sweet porto. Not bad, but not excellent. Good for the price.
