Community Tasting Note

• no oak wrote: 85 points

  January 1, 2024 - I have had this wine many, many times over the years and it's one of my all-time favorite ports. We opened 2 bottles this weekend that I had recently purchased from a dealer (found via Wine-Searcher) that acquires and sells private wine cellars. These 2 bottles were a shadow of what this wine should be. One was undrinkable, and the other was merely serviceable. As we all know, when you buy a 46-year-old wine, you're at the mercy of the storage history of the bottle. Judging from the other tasting notes here, that is the likely explanation rather than the wine being at the end of its life, so don't be alarmed by my review if you know for a fact that you have well stored bottles.
