Tasting notes:

This wine, a vintage tawny Port, comes from a seriously good year, dry with just enough water to let the grapes ripen beautifully. Medium orange-red in colour, the wine has tangerine and dried apricot fruit with accents of milk chocolate, cinnamon and cardamom. Sweet, the mid-weight palate is intense, layered and textured, and has superb balance of the complex flavours with integrated alcohol, crisp acidity and silky tannins. A stunning, mature wine to serve with pistachio crème brûlée, or a cheese platter. (Patricia Stefanowicz MW)
