2022 Quevedo Port Advent Calendar; 12/1/2022-12/24/2022: Day 18 of the Quevedo 2022 Prestige Advent Calendar. 90ml bottle. Brown-tawny in color. There is oak, dried apricots, dried nuts, and caramel on the nose. This wine has a rich mouthfeel with good intensity on the palate, with notes of caramel and some slight oxidation.

Sammamish Port Club - October 2022 (Seattle, Washington): Bottled in 2015. Brown-yellow in color. Some herbal notes on the nose with lime and gingerbread. Very elegant flavor profile with honey and dried fruit. There are pleasant, sweet waves of rich flavors that appear on the mid-palate. There are some tannins on the finish but overall the finish has a nice balance.

2022 Port Harvest Tour; 9/22/2022-10/2/2022 (Porto, Portugal): Oscar thought that this wine might contain some white grapes. When blending from older casks of wine, sometimes it is difficult to know whether some ancestor included some white grapes in the barrels. This wine exhibits an amber-orange color with slight yellow edges. The nose is characterized by old wood, caramel, and light honey notes. The flavor profile is smooth with light caramel and hints of tropical fruits. Lively acidity contributes to a long finish.

Sammamish Christmas Tasting (Sammamish, Washington): Bottled in 2015. Aged barrel notes on the nose with vanilla and some smooth spices. Very smooth palate with amazingly rich notes of molasses and toffee. This wine is much more elegant and well-integrated than I am used to. I expected more dynamics but this is super elegant and integrated beautifully.
