  Impulse pull on request. Decanted off moderate amount of sediment, bottle rinsed, and wine returned for service. Consumed in a relative frenzy by eight people, so this didn't get much evolution time. Medium-dark red color with some bricking starting to show up and medium transparency. Nose has plum and baking spice. Palate has fig, prune, plum, Christmas pudding, and some slightly medicinal notes that carry in to a medium-long finish. Purchased on release and ready to go now. Drink.

  Mature, surprisingly little sediment, nice finish to a veteran’s day dinner for my father

  Very good. This wine has a strong core of high-end cocktail cherries, ripe plum, and dried figs and is further flavored with scents of cola spices and violets. Few will find this to be anything but "delicious" on the palate. This tastes more like a house vintage port than a single-quinta port. I would not hurry to drink this, but I wouldn't delay gratification either.

  Deep dark reddish-purple in color with little signs of aging. Full, forward & fragrant nose of ripe fruit aromas of dark cherries, blackberries & dried figs with overtones of spices & earthy notes, jammy, minerals, cocoa, anise & some cedar r in the background. Full bodied with a very good concentration of well balanced & smooth textured, jammy, ripe fruit flavors of blackberries, dark cherries, dried figs & raisins with spices, bittersweet cocoa, minerals & a hint of vanilla. Long lingering finish. Drinks quite well at present with decanting & extended airing. Even at 26 years of age, it should continue to develop further with additional aging & perhaps score higher (92+).

  From a 375ml bottle. Decanted roughly 5 1/2 hours. I last had this a little over 3 years ago and at that time I thought it a bit lack luster and not in a closed phase. I freely admit when I'm wrong and I was wrong about this one. While showing more on the mature side, this possessed lots of fennel, tobacco leaf that tends to typically show as Malvedos VP's age, sweet dried plums on the front end that dry out on the finish. And that finish, a mix of sweetness with underlying dried fruit as well that balances it out and keeps it from becoming overtly sweet. While showing more mature than some regular sized bottles this is a wonderful VP and, from this sized bottle, just starting to enter it's prime drinking. That said I'd suspect 750's and larger will still be a ways off from reaching this point of maturity.
