BUY THE WINE

Axel Probst: The only 1945 Port at our tasting where the quality did not support 70 years of evolution in the bottle. Orange color with brown reflections. A balanced bouquet, with herbs and coffee. Very elegant on the palate, but too light. Short aftertaste. Not unpleasant but well past its prime. Drink up.
