Taste is medium fruity sweet, offering a basket of ripe red fruits, prune, blackcurrant, raisin, before developing a medium woody bitterness that is a bit roasted, nutty (almond) with a touch of vanilla. Dryish, faintly hoppy finish (peppery), lingering wood, vanilla, red fruits, subtle warming port alcohol as expected. Medium body, slick, almost syrupy texture, flat carbonation. Very elegant port beer, almost spot-on.
