  Lots of fig and pickled walnut initially on the nose, red and blackbrerry and cherry is slightly dried out, smidge of rancio and Autumn fruits with a little forest floor. On the palate the aroma implied flavours are enriched by Demerara sugar. Surprisingly nimble and light. Rather splendid.

  With a pleasant candied red cherry character, old leather, and warm earth notes this was a pleasant if slightly spirity and uninspirational 63.

  MAGNUM Vintage Port (CUT restaurant Beverly Hills): Out of magnum, second wine in the flight. Great color, classic for the vintage, lovely palate. Port sense based on vintage, light with that hint of licorice.

  Too oxidized to score, but still a vaguely pleasant drink.

  Clear ruby red color. No browning.
  
  The first taste is a flash of sweet blueberry and cotton candy. The flavor transitions to cherry garcia with a splash of caramel on top.
  
  There is a phase of the taste, where a hot acidic alcohol burn is felt in the middle of the pallet, not too intense, but is present.
  
  The flavor crests into fig and walnut on the pallet, think fig newtons.
  
  The red wax capsule was cracked, and the cork was slightly depressed. I could push the cork down when opening the bottle. I used a Durand, and the cork came out with ease. There was some signs of seepage, but immaterial and the wine did not look oxidized when decanted.
