The nose was quite shy on this, and while pleasant, flavours were also not as intense as other ports. There was nice balance, juicy fruit and good acidity. Happy to be sipping this; it just seems dialed down a notch.

Not too often do I not really enjoy a Port. This was one of them. Very short finish, no roundness, mouth filling juicy acidity. Lacking. Maybe it was bottle variation. I bought these in splits so I will give one another try.

Juicy and fresh, hint of nutty evolution, black cherries and dark chocolate, eucalyptus, supple but not too sweet, light tannins, good length. At The Pig & Whistle, Beverley, UK.

Light nose of red cherry and anise. Flavour has cola, cherry, chocolate and anise. Smooth and soothing, but not overly bold.
