Excellent wine. Really fills my bill in re vintage port, in that the wine has clarified and tossed A major crust, leAving a raried and slightly stringent nectar. Leather and cherrires, a hint of tabac. Really lovely.

opened in oct. It's Ok. The nose is super. There is still alcohol in it, and the predominant tastes on the palate are: 1) sweetness; 2) cassis. I don't think it's great, but it's certainly far far far from lousy. (Personally cellared [I mean, who else would cellar it?] for at least 15 and more probably 20 years.)
Lovely without decanting in 2021. Leather, some barnyard early on, but resolving into a kind of vanilla or tobacco or... Very, very dark, impenetrable, without bricking but with sediment. Altogether a good bottle
