  Noval VP mini-vertical (P81): Sewer and some VA but not in a defective way. There is some red currant and cherry fruit but also glue/VA.
  Lovely and developed wine but it is disjointed and has a short aftertaste. Otherwise a fine balance.

  Christmas Day 2020 (My place, Kent Street): Served with cheddar and stilton.
  Popped and poured. Lovely figgy joy, quite lightweight or resolved (does port get resolved?) but beautifully balanced. No alarming alcohol heat here just a charming, fleshy, glass of happiness...actually we finished about half the bottle. Went beautifully with the cheeses and various hurrahs whilst watching Master and Commander...pity we didn't have any Madeira...

  quite pale, tawny-tinged. very light body, rather thin texture. much like previous note; declining, but holding in there and quite agreeable still, especially the long, aromatic aftertaste.

  The 7th wine (and second port) of the night so comments a bit unfocused and recorded next day. Very light colour, pale, pale tawny. Had thrown deep crust in bottle. A very light smooth VP, easy to drink and a light shadow of earlier years I suspect but wonderfully smooth spirit and complex old notes of varnish and subtle wood esters. Probably on a downhill trajectory, no reason to cellar longer. Agree very much with Logos on description but can't fathom others scoring for this wine.
