May 6, 2024 - Drank at grahams lodge. Decanter needed for lots of sediment. Still tastes youthful but with some nice development. Lots of fruit with structure & plenty of spice on the finish.

February 17, 2024 - Solid cork medium sediment (needs filtering). Deep cherry red color. Wonder aroma of black currant, dark cherries and blackberries with a light earthy floral. On the hard palate black currant, orange peel and spices. It quickly leaves the hard palate slightly dry. The soft palate is filled with blackberry and cherry that really open up with a light acidic bite. On the tip of the tongue you can really taste the black currant on the tip of the tongue, along with a vanilla spice and caramel. The middle of the tongue transitions to pipe tobacco and dark chocolate. The back of the tongue has a rich tobacco flavor. The finish is short and dry, yet fulfilling.

November 28, 2023 - "An evening of Port with the Symingtons" at BBR (BBR): Amazingly young for a 40+ yr old vintage port. Some coolness/menthol on palate, which was surprising. Not a profound bottle, but very nice. Just a bit, dare I say, boring?!!

Aromatic nose. Quite complex. Red fruit and spicy. Reminds me of a Rioja Gran Reserva.
Medium-fullish palate. Fully mature. Very elegant and spicy. A load of liquorice. Nice hints of flowers. But also a bit weak.
