Simple and uninspiring with good acidity and 13% alc only. It was perfect match for grilled sardines with potatoes. Simple wine for simple food, but it is incredible how this match worked so well in Port. 86 for the wine and 99 for the evening by the Douro River.

Too young. Popped and poured. Needs more cellaring and decanting. Oak and ripe blackberries. Full bodied, elegant, lots of structure. 91
