Sammamish Port Club - 1970's Ports (Seattle, Washington): Amber-orange in color. Caramel and burnt sugar on the nose. Really bright acidity and the palate has some pleasant notes of Asian spices, burnt sugar and really nice acidity. Very long finish.

Colorado Memorial Day Tasting; 5/26/2023-5/27/2023 (Longmont, Colorado): Bottled in 2019. Dark amber with a tinge of brown and yellow-green on the edge. Lime, vinagrinho, and sweet toffee on the nose. Massive rich flavor profile with lime, crème brulee, and cocoa powder. The mid-palate and long finish show off a ton of citrus, good acidity, and nice complexity. Extremely long finish.

Bronze color. Bottled in 2019. Subtle herbal nose. Some, caramel. Long finish. A bit monolithic keeps it from getting a higher score. This bottle seemed a touch sullen, but opened up after a while.

Guys' Port Weekend - July 2022; 7/15/2022-7/16/2022 (Boulder Creek, California): Bottled in 2019. Amber-orange in color with some yellow-brown on the edge. Cocoa powder, orange spice, and some dark oak on the nose. Rich, smooth entry with vanilla, butterscotch, and some acidity popping up on the end of the palate. The finish is very long and smooth.

2019 FTLOP Harvest Tour; 9/19/2019-9/28/2019 (Portugal): Dark amber-orange in color with yellow on the edges. Viragrinho (balsamic), chocolate, colas on the nose. $%@’ing ridiculous mouthfeel and reductive cola, mocha, molasses, and soy sauce on the palate. A touch of salinity on the long and crazy unctuous finish.
