    Review:Tasters found an inky and a lovely sweetness of baked fruit and caramel spice. Complex, with great depth and length, this will provide excepcional drinking in the next twenty years.

    Notes:I had this wine with Nick and I would agree with him, unforetunately on the third day, the wine never lost its strong alcohol and acTually gained some which overpowered the tannnins and sweetness. 8 out of 10.

    Notes:Lovely fruit. Almost perfect balance of tannis, fruit and alcohol. This is what a great Vintage Port should taste like.

    I can't wait until tomorrow and the next day, when I'm sure it will get even better and thus it will probably get a 10.

What a Vintage Port should taste like.
