While it is quite dark in color, this wine still has plenty of good, 10-Year Oldfresh fruit flavors. Perfumed and delicate, it has light sweetness and a good layer of fruit and wood acidity, leaving a dry aftertaste. Its quality is an indication of the impressive improvements that have occurred at Royal Oporto in recent years.

A broad, rich style, with dark raisin, dried plum and caramel notes, backed by a light hint of sandalwood through the finish. Drink now. 5,000 cases made.
