Lively acidity provides freshness and balance, while firm, silky tannins give the wine impressive aging potential. The finish is long, elegant and layered, with lingering fruity and spicy nuances.
This port pairs perfectly with rich desserts such as dark chocolate cake, plum pie or blue cheeses. In addition, it is a delight on its own, especially after several years of aging.
