February 15, 2024 - I am not sure ... I like it, but don't love it. Young, spirited, lighter tannins, strong, alcoholic nose. Very long finish, but a bit acidic.

December 25, 2023 - In its prime if you like younger drinking. Few signs of age. Fruit and spirit on the nose. Very sweet initial taste, lovely smooth mouth feel - plums, spice and cherry linger, Remarkably little tannin. Delicious.

December 1, 2023 - Day 2. From a small capped bottle as part of a zoom tasting. Some heat on nose. A little coffee and prunes: plummy fruit. fruitcake. Nutty or marzipan? Palate is better - plummy and sweet. Some nice spices. Finish is sweet and plummy. Good but somewhat non descript. Nose - 4/6, Palate - 5/6, Finish - 5/6, Je ne Sais Quoi - 1/2 = 15/20.

November 17, 2023 - Excellent fruity port. Still young but can be enjoyed now I think. Many years ahead with also improvment.

February 24, 2023 - Dark ruby, red rim, heavy sediment. Lovely nose. Full and fruity, spirit has dropped into the background. Plums and spice. Delicious now and plenty of time to grow. Gentle burn in the finish. Very popular when set against an ‘87.
