  9/10/2021 - His Grace, The Duke Of Port Likes this wine: 91 Points

  Dark ruby, darker than the 1977 Hardy's I was drinking alongside it.
  
  A light marine odour with menthol and cherries on the nose that mostly blew off with some air.
  
  Velvety with blueberries, mulberries, and cherries on the palate. Very moreish and rich - almost opulent. It kind of reminded me of a 1998 Penfolds Grange in this regard with a large helping of sugar!
  
  Clearly younger and with more backbone than the '77.
  
  Absolutely delicious but lacking the complexity, intensity, and structure of a great Douro Port.
