An impressive, finely tannic Port with solid, ripe fruits and great black jelly and fig flavors. Imported by Frederick Wildman and Sons, Ltd.

Score: 90
Peppery aromas, with lots of crushed berries. Medium- to full-bodied, with light sweetness and a soft, round tannic structure. Not on the same level as the fabulous 2000. Best after 2010. 3,000 cases made.
Full. Dark color with strong purple rim, powerful nose of concentrated ripe berries -- in the mouth viscous with a heavy finish. A powerful wine which reminds me of a more tannic 1994!
