SCORES & TASTING NOTES

This shows the elegance of the 2015 vintage. Not many port shippers are declaring but this exhibits length and firmness with structure. Medium to full body, light sweetness and lots of blackberry, blueberry and raspberry character. Very pretty length and firmness. Should be outstanding. Try from 2025 onward.
