I was rather nonplussed by the ‘94 and ‘96, which I found unbalanced, but this is as smooth as the proverbial baby’s bottom. Has a bit of tannic backbone too for added complexity.

Intense berry jam and sweet spice with candied grapes and sour cherries in syrup on the nose. Full-bodied but nicely balanced, with sweetness, good acidity and a long spicy finish. Different to a vintage port, but equally interesting.
