Product Details
One of those 'nearly there' Port vintages, with hopes of a good growing season dashed by last-minute rain still restrained on the nose, with liquorice-like richness beneath; opulent, broad and sweet with fresh berry fruit and a touch of dark chocolate and spicy, peppery tannins on the finish. Drinking window: 2015-2030.
