This is on the drier side of the spectrum for Vintage Ports, featuring violet, licorice root, boysenberry pâte de fruit and bitter plum compote flavors that drive through with clear definition and detail, ending with coiled-up, brambly energy. A very solid, understated style. Best from 2035 through 2045. 2,500 cases made, 112 cases imported.
