Tasting Notes

Thick and jammy, with loads of blackberry and plum character. Full, very sweet and round. Caresses your palate. Very fruit-driven, but lots of tannin structure as well. Sneaks up on you with the power. Was a bodybuilder, but now a long distance runner. Love it. '77/'85/'97 blind Port retrospective. Best after 2012. 4,000 cases made. -JS
