| Bouquet | Black currant, dark cherry and mulberry in the nose. | Score range | 15.50 - 15.50 |
| Taste | Medium body. Still some soft tannin but rather modern style of port. Will probably be better but is very easy to drink and enjoy today. Mulberry and black currant in taste. Balanced port with a rather nice finish. | Average score | |

| Taste | Medium body. Balanced and elegant but quite mature and not far from being at its best and will of course improve a little. Toffee, some vanilla and dried fruit in taste and with a quite attractive finish. Very easy to enjoy however already now. | Average score | 15.90 |
