An elegant, dense purple-colored offering, this 2000 offers up sweet aromas of melted licorice intermixed with blackberries, black raspberries, and cassis. Soft, precocious, and pure, this medium-bodied, suave, graceful port should be approachable in 4-5 years and last until 2020.

Slightly evolved deep crimson. Pruney nose with lots of acidity. Quite open, spicy nose. Some raw, green notes on the nose then a very tart, sloe-gin finish. Jagged and not weighty enough to convince that it is simply youthful. (JR)
