  April 4, 2024 - Another Wine gathering at RJ’s; 4/4/2024-4/7/2024 (Palmetto Bluff, South Carolina): Nice mature nose displaying dry sweet blue and black fruit, blueberry liqueur, black cherry, dry fig, cigar, leather , milk chocolate, baking spices and earth. Very good concentration, nicely layered generous blue and black fruit, warm, soft and round, medium acidity, earthy mineral, and a medium to long ripe blue and black fruit driven finish. This is drinking nicely.

  February 6, 2024 - My mother's father sent to each of us surviving grandchildren a bag of shelled English walnuts from the tree in his backyard in the year before he died. Until tonight I wondered why. I had some English walnuts with a glass of this wine, as with previous notes from a 375. Good Stilton is often said to be a great pairing with vintage Oporto But, Stilton changes the taste of Oporto. English walnuts are in perfect harmony with Oporto but do not at all intrude in the taste. I am certain my Grandfather Thomson never tasted vintage Graham Oporto or any Oporto. But he knew how good English walnuts tasted. He taught me a tasting lesson.

  January 11, 2024 - From 375ml. This seems to be really coming into its own, but still needed some air to truly shine. Would hold full bottles a while longer.

  January 6, 2024 - Bob's cellar. Still a deep red, age showing through. Has barely changed since the last bottle, perhaps showing a little more age but still the prunes, raisins and a warm sweetness. Beautiful again.
