Review:	Good aromas and flavors of pepper, raisin and ripe fruit in this young vintage Port. Medium-bodied, medium-sweet, with a fresh aftertaste. Not as good as when tasted from barrel. Best after 2005.

Score:	76 points
Notes:	Tasted this 1997 vintage at the Toronto IDVP 2006 Port Tasting. Light burgundy in colour (a little too light). Aroma was pleasant enough, but the flavour was reminiscent of sour grapes. Definitely not my favourite 1997 Port.
