Tasting notes
Full cork-stoppered bottle 1,325 g. More concentrated than Graham’s counterpart, this almost tastes young! There’s still a bit of tannin there, as well as some black pepepr. For those who like grip. (JR)

A blend of Touriga Nacional, Touriga Francesa, Tinta Roriz, Tinta Barroca, Tinta Cão, Tinta Amarela. RS 107 g/l. Bricky red. Aroma of raisins and a hint of coffee, and very dark toffee. Extremely sweet, and the spirit seems a little disjointed so that you feel it on the finish. Chewy but smooth tannins, more initial flavour than great length. Slightly burly after the more elegant Fonseca 10 Year Old Tawny. (JH)
Garnet-tawny colour. There is still a strong, ripe-fruit nose here for a tawny style, bringing energy, bite and raw sweetness to the wine. Positively youthful with some grip and warming alcohol. Steeped summer-pudding fruit and a hint of dried cherry. Peppery on the finish. (TP)
Full stopper-corked, frosted black bottle 1,369 g. Still pretty red – transparent ruby colour. Presumably this means they haven't added white port to make a tawny colour? Rather simple nose and sort of halfway house between ruby and tawny in terms of taste. Light nuttiness, youthful fruit and lots of alcohol. Not much length. (JR)
