  Opened by Allred. I don't drink many LBV's. Deep purple color. Notes of raisins and prunes with a meaty texture. Not as deep or concentrated as most of the vintage ports I've had. 88 points.

  4th Saturday Brown Bagger (EBCC): Popped and poured. Plum, fig and raisin on the nose and palate. Integrated and balanced. Drinking well.

  See also my previous notes; this bottle was more vivid than the previous and delicious.

  No cork problems, this port becomes riper and force has to change in complexity, but I'm not completely sure this wine will succeed.
  However a lovely port with ripe fruit, a smooth taste, some tannins in the final and less dry than I expected from Fonseca.
