  Had the pleasure of tasting this at a nice restaurant after a fantastic meal. Writing up the review later in the night so may not be perfectly accurate, but the wine was very tawny in color, acid was high, sweet, tannins medium, finish long.
  
  Aromas were roasted hazelnuts, raisins, figs.
  
  On the palate, raisins and figs, dried fruit, nuts, hazelnuts, cedar, and vanilla. Surprisingly tasted like a younger, 20yr port. Delicious regardless.

  Truly flabbergasted by the richness, finesse, complexity and refinement of this marvelous port. Ranks right up there in terms of the best port I have had along with Quinta do Noval's 1963 tasted 11 years ago. Brownish tawny color, did not decant and rather served the wine in large red wine glasses. Nose of Hazel, caramel, figs, raisins, star anise spices and crème brûlée. Coats the palate and very rich mid palate with amazing balance between acidity and sweetness, solid tension and a very long milk chocolate finish. Great pairing with chocolate coated profiteroles but worked wonders with a cigar at the end of a glorious meal. Wow!
