A deep brick-red core fading to a reddish hue at the rim. A beautifully ripe and complex nose, full of evocative and subtle nuances. Aromas of plum, fig and sultana mingle with a gentle fragrance of marzipan and caramel. Hints of cigar box, cedar wood and leather add an exotic dimension to the nose. The wine is seductively round and smooth, with discreet, beautifully integrated tannins adding an appealing dryness and grip. The wine is full of rich fruitcake flavours, with some fresh plum character emerging on the long finish. A skilfully blended, harmonious and balanced Tawny Port, with all the intensity and refinement derived from ageing in seasoned oak casks.
