Tasted this LBV first time at Quinta do Crasto during the FTLOP Harvest Tour 2010 (cask sample).
Liked it a lot, and found it recently in Denmark.
Bottled late 2010. Decanted 3 hrs. Medium to dark red with a light rim. Deep aroma of young fruit. Full body. Balanced. Powerful with nice tannins, a lot of fruit. Long aftertaste. Better than many vintage ports. 92 pts.

Thanks for the updated reference note on this I've not had it since it was a cask sample. Glad to hear you really liked it, I'll have to keep an eye out for it when it hits the shelves here.
