Tasting Notes "Highly recommended (four stars). Very full, plummy, intense colour, deep and nice on the palate, a bit dry, with good tannins. A long taster." Decanter Magazine, November 1992 "Classic deep purple-crimson hue, with medium - heavy sediment - peppery nose violets, rose petals and cedar, the heavenly flavour is even better and more forward than the nose as jammy raspberry and plum flavours grip the palate and won't let go,

a viscious, fleshy Port that just keeps comming at you,stop right here." Spirit Journal, USA, August 1992 "Really excelled itself with a splendidly multi-dimensional wine." Andrew Jefford, Decanter Magazine, November 1991 "The 1977 Vintage very dark ruby with a purple cast, has an intensely perfumed nose of layered dark pit fruits, spice and pepper. The similar rich flavours offer substancial tannins and fruit and very long, tight, expansive finish - a fabulous long-lived Port." The Underground Wine Journal, Volume XV, 1994 Exceptional (92 points) "Wine" November 1997
