Portugal James Suckling 99 Rating The 1955 Martinez Vintage Port has a deep red color, clear center, pale orange on the rim. A lovely nose of oranges and tobacco. Sweet entry, with the oranges – blood oranges – dominating the initial flavors. Lots of acidity giving the fruit plenty of support. The texture thickens in the mouth. Great development, thick and flavorful. Excellent wine. Enormous aftertaste. Cedar wood, cranberries and with a lovely sweetness lasting all the way through the long length. Improved in the glass for the short time it remained in there.
