Belle façon de terminer la soirée ! Rien de bien complexe mais c'est encore super jeune sur un profil assez frais de fruits rouge, rien n'accroche, alcool plutôt bien intégré, pas trop sucré, bref fort agréable sans être d'une grande complexité.

Deep dark center, red/purple rim with some signs of age. Intense nose of bilberries and cracked rocks, quite youthful, black pepper. Rich and direct in the mouth, atypical blue/black fruit (blueberries?), a little smokey, milk chocolate, peppery, dusty, good tannin and acid still, great length. Very different bottle from the other 3. Great fruit, depth and length. Drinking well now.

Deep red center, red rim with signs of age. Sweet, cherry jam, alcohol, a little spicy, touch of green. Smooth then sweet, lighter red fruits, almonds, okay acidity, alcohol a little prominent, mature, leafy, nutty, good length. Surprisingly good mature port. A little hot on the finish. Two sets of bottles in the cellar (Rhode Island and Premier Cru), the latter is doing better I think. Drink now.

Relatively young. I would expect this to soften over the next few years without losing quality, though not necessarily gaining quality either. Lighter bodied than some others, but quite intense, with the caramel/raison flavors balanced by a good deal of more vibrant fruit. Fairly well-balanced.

Very nice, but nothing special. No benefit to keeping this much longer. If anything, I would drink up.

Drinking well now. Not as good at the 94 tasted recently. As mature, less focus.

Smokey, silky, nice tannins. Licorice. Drinking well now but will probably improve with some more time.

Opened too early. Needs more time or long decant. Great potential.

Wood, raspberry and minerals. Of course some sweetness but there was a bit too much wood for my taste. Drinkable

Consumed over 3 nights-- still quite young. Dark, concentrated plum, spice, and heat. By the 3rd night, almost in balance.

A lighter, perhaps more feminine style of port than some, but rich in flavor and quite delicious.

Seattle Tasting Group does Syrah & Shiraz (Seattle, WA, USA): Fresh, herbal and clearly more fruity than the prior wine. Not as nice to my palate.
