Crusted Port, although approachable at the time of release (i.e. 3 years after bottling), will repay the patience of allowing it to develop for 2-3 or more years in bottle. Offers an excellent value alternative to Vintage Port. |

Shows a deep dark red ruby colour. |
| Aroma |
Aromas of plums and intense concentrated fruit, combined with a peppery liveliness.
|

Rich and full of ripe berry fruit on the palate, with elegance and poise. |
