Score 17/20 · Drink 2016-2025, Jancis Robinson MW, Dec 2015
Mid to dark crimson. Very light nose – so much so that I almost wonder whether there is a problem with this particular natural cork? Very sweet – quite a contrast to the Taylor LBV 2010! And indeed to the stereotypical Taylor style. Massively rich. Big raisiny delivery. Fun and exuberant and then a dry peppery finish. Not quite married yet but very interesting. Big and beefy. Unexpectedly so. (JR)

Score 17.5/20 · Drink 2011-2018, Jancis Robinson MW, Dec 2014
Already fully mature and beautiful, well-balanced drink. Super-appetising combination of rich, spicy, violet-scented fruit with sufficient freshness. This is a port that would give huge pleasure after a meal – no need for food. Not one of the very sweetest but seriously satisfying. (JR)
