Axel Probst: Another pleasant surprise, since this was on no one’s radar before the tasting. Rozes is best known for elegant Vintage Ports, but its ’45 did not fail to impress. Deep dark red color. Floral and herbal notes and much coffee on the bouquet. The palate shows a very balanced combination of licorice, strong fruit, and coffee. A long and complex finish. Now to 2040.
