What reviewers say
“A Tier1 Port!! From memory my late Father gave me this bottle around the the turn of the millennium! It was stored in 4 houses (including a friend’s house after a fire!! long story) and it’s probably accurate to say that all those conditions were far from ideal.”
From a top-rated Vivino review for this bottle.
Z-normalized corrects for reviewer bias (every reviewer re-centered onto their personal scale). Raw average uses simple mean across the broader pool including stddev=0 reviewers.

Summary
Sumptuous dark chocolate and morello cherry character with opulent finish. This wine is full-bodied, rich but perfectly balanced with soft peppery tannins and with a fine acidity that ensure perfect balance on the palate.
