The bright ruby colour was accompanied by a subtly fruity nose. Tasting revealed a vintage port at its peak. It was rich and full bodied with plummy fruit flavours. There was a perfect equilibrium between the sweetness of the sugars and the residual tanins. Put this all together and you have a great balance between the fruity, sweet and bitter elements. Although not as full bodied as some, every mouthful of this well crafted port was a pleasure to enjoy.
The cork was in excellent condition which probably contributed to the outstanding presentation from this bottle.
