Nice fruit notes but a rich and creamy port, spicy character, lacking of acidity, the caramel profile give it a bit of elegance but less finesse, a more muscular style - to note: more caramel notes in a Port matured in the warmer Douro, while the colder Gaia Porto, it will get more citrus notes #portwineday #winelover

A sweeter style than some of the other houses and for me the sugar overpowers it a little - masks some of the exciting nutty fun going on after nearly 30 years in the bottle. I see other reviewers complain of a lack of acidity in other vintages, that’s interesting as this one is very present. The tannins have died. Would be curious to see if the flattening of sugars and acidity bring this into balance in another 50ish…
