A lovely Port with a slightly orange hue and a sustained brilliance. The nose distils aromas of ripe fruit such as redcurrants and oranges, as well as light vanilla and resinous notes. An elegant, round Port, fresh and harmonious, filling the mouth with sweetness and intense citrus flavors. The finish is persistent and deliciously vanilla-like. A must-try!
