Tasting Notes

Nose

Elegance personified. Rich and soft with peach, fudge, red fruits (cherry especially) and a tiny cough of smoke. Sexy stuff.

Palate

Very soft and quite sweet: acacia honey, red fruit and a gorgeous silky feel.

Finish

Orange peel.

Comment

Finishing is all about striking a balance. Here, the port just nudges the spirit into a new space but never dominates. Classy.
