We bought this very special bottle of port to celebrate our coming of old age. It was clear dark brown colour with an almost oily rich nose. On tasting the wood elements were very much predominant. However they were pleasantly tempered by just a little residual fruity sweetness. So there was a rich complex oaky bitterness which had the edge taken off it by a compensating sweetness. However words just cannot describe the experience of drinking something like this where the elements have had many years to combine into a harmonious and fulfilling experience.
