Community Tasting Note

RHONEISBETTERTHANBDX Likes this wine:

Saturday, December 23, 2023 - From 750 mL bottle, decanted two hours before serving. Served at 18 degrees Celsius together with a tart strawberry cake.

Initial nose after opening bottle:

Wow, this is a potent wine. Lots of alcohol, fruit, some notes of dates and figs. Clearly this wine has copious amounts of potential for further maturing.

Initial taste: Fruit forward, red fruits, caramel, vanilla, alcohol! Almost overwhelming.

After decantation: Oh, this is good stuff. Alcohol, vanilla, spices, dates, cocoa, fruit....I could go on. Fantastic port. Extremely masculine in every way, like a hammer to the roof of the mouth.

This is a great wine from a great producer and very hot vintage. Clearly this wine is still young, but will drink great from now on and many decades out.
