Community Tasting Note

Monday, December 5, 2016 - Quite pleasant, a bit grainy and overly sweet at this stage of its development. Not a lot of nuance at this stage, but the future of the port looks bright. I recently had the Fonseca from the same vintage and for me it was better - had a more complex and interesting profile, the sweetness was less obvious and there was even a slight dry tone on the finish which was amazing.

On the 2nd day, this continued to show equally well but not really better - very pleasant but a bit obvious with a grainy sugary profile, but a bit more tannic backbone. Very nice, but I'd leave well enough alone for like five years (or 20 ;-)).
