Beautiful Port color with a bouquet and flavor that was typically dusty (house dust), with a mélange of plum and cherry, and a hint of persimmon. Not a power horse, and without the wow of a Taylor-Fladgate, but still pleasant. Second bottle similar.

Youthful nose, perfume of strawberry cream, ripe raspberry and marzipan. Pure grained tannins, perfectly integrated. Matured flavors of prune, mandarin with dates and figs in a long lasting wonderful finish.
