It's not often we get to taste a new port from the Vallegre stable as we sell their ports in the UK. Well this couldn't have been experienced under better circumstances as it was served during the interval of Fado Performance for which Maria of Vallegre had arranged the tickets. Both the show and the port were excellent.

Well oxidised reddish brown colour with a nose reminiscent of a fruit cake cooking. Rich, sweet and full bodied taste consisting of cooked plum flavours and tart oaky elements.
