| Bouquet | Mature plums, fruit and dark berry in the nose. | Score range | 15.00 - 15.00 |
| Taste | Medium body. Still quite a lot of tannin and will be better. Balanced but sweet and rather elegant. Dark berry and plums in the taste with a rather short finish. Easy to drink this port. | Average score | |

| House | Augusto | Vintage | 2006 |
| Colour | Still rather dark ruby in colour with a rather yellow edge. | Number of tastings | 14 |
| Bouquet | Dark berry such as blackberry, blue berry and mulberry in the nose but also a hint of cork. | Score range | |
| Taste | Medium body. Drinkable but the taste and nose of corked make it quite difficult to enjoy. Still some tannin but balanced port with a rather nice finish despite the cork. | Average score | |
