Score 18/20 · Drink 2008-2038, Richard Hemming MW, jancisrobinson.com, Sep 2008
This is looking instantly the most attractive of the range by far – a nose not dissimilar to premium Shiraz with pepper, plum, blackberry, spice and sweetmeat. It's massive on the palate, but super balanced too, boasting outstanding hints of fresh coffee and cocoa that linger on the finish. Very moreish! "Young vintage Port today is much more attractive because of the quality of the spirit used" – David Guimaraens. (RH)
