1 hour in the decanter

Clear  red and brown colour.

Suitable aroma that comes off with a fine and spiced scent with sweet dried fruits.

Full bodied with mild tannin, long after taste with everything there is to wish for in complexity with dried fruits.

3 hours in the decanter

Colour remains unchanged.

Oak is now present in the aroma.

After taste lasts longer.

Generally a mature, sweet and good port that should be enjoyed now.

Overall rating 94 / 100
