  Three years since last bottle of this.
  Ca 3 hour decant which seemed to be one or two hours less than ideal.
  
  nose and palate are quite similar with licorice, sweet dark fruits like plums and cherries.
  Still quite tannic so no hurry to drink these, but it seems to be coming out of its closed phase.

  Very good Vintage Port. Sorry, that’s all I got ...should have probably started the note before I finished the bottle :)

  Advanced colour; rather innocuous nose, subdued; more heft on palate, quiet mid-palate but good attack on finish.
  (From a half).
  48 hours on, fleshed out , plummy.

  Pop 'n pour which was not a good idea, but hey it's a cellar defender in half bottle.
  I thought this would show more ready to drink but I would recomend something like an 8 hour decant and still expect it to improve.
  App: Very dark red 80% opaque.
  Nose: Cherries with a hint of tobacco.
  Taste: Cherries with a good amount of blueberries mixed in; aftertaste is showing some tobacco anise on top of this.
  this is a wine that should improve over the next decade and then drink well for another 15 years.
  Amazing qpr and an easy 93+
