At full maturity, the colour has softened to translucent ruby-tawny. Sweet strawberry and orange aromas lead into an elegant, balanced palate, where warm spice, a dry core and fine remaining tannins keep the fruit poised. The finish is long and gently warming. Bottle variation is possible at this age, so stand upright and decant carefully before serving.

Blackberry, blackcurrant and dark plum are lifted by violet, cranberry and a touch of citrus freshness. Liquorice, cistus, rosemary and incense add savoury aromatic detail. The palate is powerful and concentrated, yet the mineral line and bright acidity keep the sweetness controlled through a long finish. Decant for sediment and serve in small pours with blue cheese, dark chocolate or walnuts.

Now fully mature, with a tawny-red colour and a layered nose of dried fig, currant, burnt toffee, coffee, cedar and warm baking spice. The palate is refined and gently sweet, with mellow wood tones, delicate acidity and a smooth, lingering finish. Fruit from a tiny parcel of ungrafted vines gives this rare Port its singular identity. Stand upright before opening, decant carefully for sediment and serve in small pours with blue cheese or walnuts.

Sweet raisin and fragrant perfume open over deep, nearly opaque colour, with strawberry, molasses and blackberry building in the glass. Medium to full-bodied, the palate is concentrated and structured, combining powerful tannins with fine balance and a distinctive balsamic note. Youthful energy carries through the firm, lingering finish.

Warm fruitcake, toasted cinnamon, sandalwood and blood orange form a mature, perfumed bouquet. The palate is silky and rounded, with sweet dark fruit, earthy spice and understated complexity held in elegant balance. This is fully developed rather than heavy, and ready to enjoy now. Stand upright, decant gently and serve with Stilton, walnuts or dark chocolate.
