"Inky and opaque. Glad I noticed the yellow jacket (bee) in my glass before taking a sip. Wow, this is a stupendous young Port and it took me a moment for it to sink in which vintage this was. A massive fruited youngster that is already confident and so smooth. There’s an elegance to this Port and I wish I could see what this will be like in another forty years. It delivers a great finish and is just layered with flavor and is already a superb drink."
