Cork was very fragile and broke into pieces. Smooth nose, light scents. Dark color with definite dark tan or brown edges. Heavy dark flavors, very smooth on the finish. Strong port flavors. Lasted well, flavors and nose held during dinner.

12/25/2003 at Nancy's. Advanced age shows in the wines color. But it is still more ruby-orange than brown, and quite vibrant. Tobacco and shoe polish on the nose. Sweet fruit. Palate is alive and well. Quite lovely, ripe and rich. Almost port-like. 5-12-17-9-93/100

Really pretty nose. Fill wasn’t great, but wine was great. Lovely palate and long finish. Fun surprise
