Half-Hour: Nose moves towards port; palate is fruit filled towards ripe plum and black currants; still long lived, hint of chocolate at finish
1.5 Hours: Decayed, rotten port on nose; ship below water; sea debris; mummy; palate contains old cointreau, more level than before, rolling, almost unending finish, hints of coffee, rotten cherry
Overall Impression: Nearly dead, partially decayed; noble origin; manifesting a past bright vibrant life; finesse still detectable amidst frailty; still fruitfully alluring
