A very interesting wine that differs a bit from the classic VP style. It is very floral and airy despite the dense fruit. There is violet and lilies and a blueberry style fruit. It is still very young but the flavors are great right now and it was a pleasure to drink. Loved it!

The wine is still in its open youthful stage with a lot of blackberry juice. The alcohol is hidden, but the tannin is starting to show a bit. I guess that over the next one or two years the wine will close itself, to open up again around…2020(?)

A textbook example of a wonderful young Vintage Port wine. Silky soft with almost only blackberry juice. Very concentrated. You hardly taste the alcohol. A lot of the qualities are still hidden, but I love this stage.

Almost exactly the same notes as last year; concentrated blackberry juice, creamy and round. Also round and a bit sticky tannin. A lush port wine.

Monthly Tasting Group HWS #040; Portugal. (By importer OK): Full bodied, elegant soft port wine loaded with ripe black fruits. Young port wine can be so beautiful; a stage you must not miss. Enough future of course.
