Excellent bottle, belying its age. Cork was in excellent shape, could be new bottling. Fresh nose, no obvious old-wine aromas, fruity and rich, with chocolate undertones. Good long finish.

This is an exciting port with unique characteristics compared to prestigious declared vintage ports. I love the rich, candied black cherries and the undertones of fresh leather and cigar.

Delicious mix of black and red fruit. Rather light, in a good, lively way. Prune, cola, chocolate covered cherry, rhubarb. Hints of leather, cigar, and wood shavings. I noted some volatile acidity--not enough to degrade the experience, but enough for me to recommend drinking now.
Phenomenal value at $40 on KLWines. Proof of the greatness of the Douro Valley. Best wine region in the world?
