Needs several days to air out. I suggest opening and patiently sipping a little each day until after 4 days, then it will be perfectly mature and ready to drink. Great aromatics of an herb garden with middle-eastern spices and old barrel characteristics; like molasses and smoke. Truly a very enjoyable Port but you must have patience when opening. Suggest paring with chocolate brownies and almonds; it's really hedonistic stuff!

Inga noter men det här är bra! Mycket kraft, mycket smaker, mycket komplexitet. Enormt mycket fällningar så behöver dekanteras både pga det och för luften till vinet. Jag tänker köpa några till om jag hittar. 94 är helt uppenbart ett riktigt bra portår och Calem är definitivt inget undantag!

Dark red. Very ripe roasted nose, prunes, roasted plums, vanilla, spice and a hint of scorched earth. Sweet ripe roasted flavours and a sweet tannic finish.
Very dark and ripe style. Probably will stay the same for decades.

No formal notes, but this is very nice! Complex, flavourful and well integrated alcohol. Very enjoyable!
