  This is mediocre for vintage port from a solid vintage. The nose is quite good: lots of sweet raisin fruit with a hint of licorice and thyme. Some fruit cake and citrus zest. Really falls down on the palate. An initial wave of flavor quickly dissipates leaving a rather lean and bitter finish. It’s fine but no better than an average LBV. (87)

  Dark red, great aromas. A big wine with fig, tobacco, earth, spice and dates. Amazing nose. medium bodied with soft tannins already. flavors with fig, tobacco, earth, spice, black fruits, dark cherry. Long finish. Threw so much sediment, it plugged my filter.

  Excellent port. Not sweet like other postings. Deep complex structure. Probably will not improve with age, but should remain high level for 5+ more years.

  Not a fan. Ok Port but certainly some funkyness to it and not super clean fruit.

  Shared with Jackie, Brian, Deb, Rob. Our first vintage port -- I can see why people say it needs age, it tastes very primary. Good concentration (for us beginners), intense and sweet, sweet, sweet palate. Also pleasant finish. Very good. Currently like a not complicated but very concentrated sugary candy. Had with Stilton, which did nothing good or bad for it. (Was decanted about 3-4 hours and rebottled.)
