Magazine Reviews

Score:	85 points
Review:	Lacks a bit of concentration, but has some good fruit. Medium-ruby in color, with plum, berry aromas. Medium-bodied, medium sweet, with a firm backbone of tannins and a light finish. Best after 2002. 6,000 cases made. (6000 cases produced)

User Tasting Notes

Score:	80 points
Notes:	No smell of fruit or pepper, just a little alcohol. Very disapointing and almost non-existing nose. A little pepper but a LOT of tannins during tasting. Slightly sweet and fruity but not enough to balance out the tannins. Overall a decent inexpensive young port that will be better in 5 years but won't go much beyond that age.
