Medium colour (garnet/plum) with even edge; nose of fragrant roses with alcohol noticeable; Very good complexity on palate with spicy curry notes of cardamom and black pepper. Noticeable “grip”. Very long but dry finish. My guess Warre or Fonseca. I placed this port 3rd overall. Group ranking 2nd overall.
