"What a Vintage Port. Dark ruby center, with a dark garnet edge. Aromas of flowers, blackberry and licorice. Subtle and complex. Wow. What a palate. Full, concentrated and rich, yet balanced and beautiful. Solid and sleepy. Still not giving all it has to give. This is just coming around. Gorgeous and classy. Love it. ['77/'85/'97 blind Port retrospective.]" WineSpectator.com, 2008
Notes: 1 very lightly stained capsule, 1 lightly stained, 2 nicked, and 3 very lightly scuffed labels, 2 different importers, 3 signs of slight past seepage.
