Reviews
"With a dark red colour, this Vintage Port has an intense personality, with ripe berries aromas, jam and hints of blackberries while young, turning to a complex bouquet and full of tertiary aromas with the ageing. It has always a powerful mouth feeling, with a remarkable structure, revealing a pleasantly and long aftertaste.
