Purchased a case of six bottles five years ago. This is second from last bottle. So far this vintage port is showing some bottle variations, but not huge differences varying from 89 pts to 92. pts. This one was performing well.
Decanted 6 hrs. Impressively deep dark red colour. Aroma showing nice pleasant fruit and also some flowers. Full body. Smooth, fruity style incl. strawberries, then some nice resistance of tannins and oak, well structured vintage port and well balanced. Medium to long aftertaste. 92 pts.
