All colour had just about dropped away. This improved with air over a couple of ours. Medicinal & cough sweets, rosehip fruit, spirity which dissipated to an extent. On this showing drink very soon. An event in itself.

Christmas Wimps 2021 - Home Alone 2 table (La Trompette): Decanted around two hours. Wow! Still a big, dark wine, although pleasingly even-bodied, and with notes of pine needle, cherry brandy and medicinal clove. Superb both with the food and as a digestif.

May have committed a bit of "infanticide" here. Decanted for 2 hours (and left a little overnight). Very clear light carmel color. Nose of Asian spices, cigar box and something floral I can't place. Delicate body, and even a bit feminine but a truly gorgeous glass of port. Definitely has the ability to remain in top form for many more years in the cellar. Glad to have a couple more left!

Harrod's Bottling. Clear light brown. Very tertiary nose, floral and earthy with hints of exotic spices and tea. Delicious flavours, tea, dried fruit and mineral. Very soft finish.

MAGNUM Vintage Port (CUT restaurant Beverly Hills): Out of magnum. More liquor smell, lacquer n the palate, Chinese plum sauce and sweet.
