 Tasted by Harley1199 on 11/23/2013: Yes, a very uneven year but this bottle is close to a five stars Port.
What I am missing here is that elegant element that every 26 years old Port must to have.
Raisins on the nose, perfectly balanced on the palate.
Creamy enough. Paired with a sweet fruity Pannetone.

Sí, un año desequilibrado pero está botella está cerca de ser un Oporto de cinco estrellas.
Lo que echo de menos aquí es ese elemento de elegancia que posee todo Oporto de 26 años.
Uvas pasas en nariz, perfectamente equilibrada en boca.
Suficientemente cremosa. Acompañada por un dulce Pannetone de frutas. (3999 views)
 Tasted by PeterMole on 12/31/2010: Prachtig helder rood met een beetje dakpankleur. Je proeft niet of hij zoet is of vol. Subtiele kruiden. Volledig op dronk, zacht, geen tannines meer. In de kracht van zijn leven. Fantastisch. (4940 views)
 Tasted by PeterMole on 12/25/2004: Bij de kazen natuurlijk: verse chevre, chaource, een italiaan, bleu uit Harmelen en natuurlijk Stilton. De port isa nog behoorlijk jong, mooi kruidig, maar minder dik dan ik verwacht had. De tweede fles kan nog wel 10 jaar liggen. (5009 views)

Over a hundred varieties of grapes (castas) are sanctioned for port production, although only five (Tinta Barroca, Tinto Cão, Tinta Roriz (Tempranillo), Touriga Francesa, and Touriga Nacional) are widely cultivated and used.
