Medium to rich palate - Oak influence apparent. More in balance with the oak than previous Delectable note 71 weeks ago. Now exhibiting a mouth perfume of Rose. Can’t see it gaining more complexity with cellaring but it is a tasty wine. Drink last one up to 6 months. — 8 years ago

A beautiful old white tawny port - rich, it offers notes of prune and figs, almost light oxidation like madeira wine - an expressive citric acidity mark, fruity with great length, it is elegant and intense, light volatile character - a brilliant port 😋👏 #winelover #portwineday — 11 years ago
