Decanted for about 8 hours. Just starting to show signs of age in the colour. Cassia bark cinnamon raspberry jam on the nose Nice balance on the palate. Quite fresh without being overtly minty. Blueberry syrup with a dusting of cinnamon and vanilla. Fine tannins that don't make their presence known until the end and everything neatly in its place. While not a top tier port, it is still very nice drinking. Day 2 was more of the same and maybe a bit more integrated.

Naso fine non particolarmente intenso o complesso. Frutti di bosco neri macerati, marasca, ribes, cacao e caramello. Pungente più di spezie dolci che di alcool. Al palato struttura relativamente affilata, e intensità che non è quella delle grandi annate, ma buon equilibrio grazie anche alla limitata sensazione di calore. Finale di buona persistenza con ritorni sulla frutta macerata e sulle note di spezie dolci.

Same crumbling cork as noted below. Aroma & flavor is very good but not outstanding. Enjoyed.

a bit muted and far lighter taste than expected. Crumbling cork and a lot of sediment
