Tasting notes

Reviewed by: Robert M. Parker, Jr.
Ripe, moderately intense, tasty aromas of damp earth, tar, and black fruits are followed by a full-bodied wine with excellent richness, and a firmly delineated personality with good tannin, moderate sweetness, and a long finish. Although very good, it is unexciting in the context of other ports of the vintage. Importer: W.A. Taylor & Co., Miami, FL; tel. (no listing).
