Sammamish Port Club - Vintage and Old White Ports (Sammamish, Washington): Ruby-purplish-brown in color. Slightly cloudy. Violets, chocolate, and a touch of dried fruit (especially prune) on the nose. Very rich, powerful entry with fantastic balance on the palate. Great fresh, crushed dark fruit backed by chocolate and some subtle herbal notes. There is a rich intensity here that makes this wine so very drinkable, but not at the expense of quality or structure.

In Vermont with Rosanne and Randy in Vermont, Steve and Sally. Very nice showing. Only minimally spirity, and the next day the fruit was plusher and no longer spirity.

Nickolls and Perks 30th Anniversary tasting of Symington's Vintage Ports (Zoom): A fairly mature appearance, and bright, light and crystal clear. Very notably red fruit on the nose: sweet cherry, a touch of strawberry syrup, and a little lift. Very elegant palate. Bright charming fruit. Definitely ready to drink now, but there are still some structural tannins yet to integrate fully. Drinking well, but plenty of time ahead.
