8 years since last bottle!!
Decanted 8.5 hrs, which was OK, but may be 10 hrs would be even better. Plenty of small sediments and needed to do double-decanting. Deep purple colour. Aroma is significantly dominated by red berries with a touch of floral notes. Full body. Quite elegant and smooth at start. Taste was rich, fruity with a superb acidity/sweetness-balance. Nice tannins. Well-structured. Slightly dry towards the end. A pleasant vintage port. Long aftertaste. 94 pts.
