Transparent amber-red. Beautiful. Toasted almond, reduced cherry juice nose. Nutty oxidative length on the palate. Echoes with sparky minerals; very bright, condensed and full of silk. Just a hint of burnt caramel apple. Lovely.

Jan 12th, 2014Body is surprising light. Sweet plummy notes that are pleasant but not overly cloying. Elegant port.
