Lot No. 16 - don’t know exactly what the “lot #s” mean, and the website is under construction. Vintage? But it isn’t a vintage or LBV. Predominant year in the blend? Bottled in 2018. I found this really unusual, in a good way, for a ruby port. It has a dusky, dry tannic character. But silky smooth. Reminds me of tea and raisins, and maybe dried blueberries. Really like this.

Fourteen years later, this remains a stunning wine. Even friends who don't usually like reds were blown away. Warning: loads of deposit, so make sure to decant well in advance. A true nectar.
