  Spectacular wine. Nose of black fruits, violets, mint, minerals and a meaty/olive note in the background. On the palate, sweet and fruity at the start. Transitions to a really minerally mid palate and finish. Super long finish with balanced acidity and dry tannins adding great structure.
  
  In a beautiful drinking window (early secondary) and will hold for quite a while. Impeccably balanced. Can easily get to tertiary phase in a other 15+ years. I'm also very much enjoying it now with its deep, bright fruity core.

  Everything you would want from a great trading port. Smooth, fruity, nutty…has lots of legs left to age as well. Used a Coravin to extract a couple glasses. Saving a couple glasses for later

  Absolutely phenomenal vintage port in peak drinking condition (out of a 375 ml). Tons of fig, marzipan, and other dried fruits. Some cedar and leather as well. Very pronounced nose and a lengthy finish. Showing great maturity but the fruit is still present.
  
  Enjoyed with the classic pairing of Stilton and it was a beautiful marriage.

  Moins ouvert et charmeur que le Smith Woodhouse du même millésime. Besoin d'air et de de temps.
