A deep ruby red in color, this LBV immediately reveals aromas of fresh black fruits such as blackberry and blackcurrant, followed by cherries, and displays a fine maturity. The palate develops complex flavors, amongst which cocoa and mint stand out. Meaty, very well balanced and with great length, it builds on a finely formed structure with elegance and superb volume. The full, fruity finish, lightly mentholated, adds great coherence to the whole.

"This ripe, generous wine offers soft tannins and black fruits. The wine's spirit and pepper touch emphasize its sweetness, conveying black raisins. Acidity cuts a satisfying swathe at the end."

“A solid late-bottled Port, showing a mix of plum cake and black currant preserves, with a light dusting of cocoa powder along the edges. Shows a licorice snap accent on the pleasantly rustic finish.”
