Decant: 9 hours - My original notes have been misplaced so this is written from memory. A fabulous port that just blew me away. I loved this and it was a close run thing for port of the night between this and the Niepoort. The Niepoort just got the nod due to its heavier body and thicker texture. However, that does not really do justice to the beauty of this port. This is a beautiful and fully mature port that shows all the elegance and refinement of a fantastic port at full maturity. Very good and certainly one to be sought out if ever it becomes available. Given the structure and the amount of fruit in this port, I would expect this to drink really nicely for the next 20 years.
