Decanted for over a day. Aromas of milk chocolate, candied cherry, raisin, date and touch of heat. Flavors of candied cherry, date, raisin, mocha and bit of brandy. Ends with a 30-35 second finish with date and chocolate notes. Very young still but drinking quite well.

Starting to show its stuff now out of a 375 ml. Great mellowing fruit and strong but pleasant tannic background which I expected. I would be concerned about opening a 750ml at this time. Has many years left. Best of the bottles I have yet (all 375's).

From a .375 ml, decanted for 6 hours with heavy sediment. Very nice port with plenty of room for improvement, rich dark fruit, with dark chocolate and cinnamon notes, rustic finish which was perfect after dinner accomplement on a cold night by a roaring fire.

From 375mL bottle, decanted about 4 hours before tasting. This is a good port but I don't think it will ever be a great port. Obviously this will improve with more time but.... I think it lacks complexity. Its delicious and enjoyable with raspberry liqueur, raisin, sweet spices, and reasonable length on the finish.
