December 27, 2023 - Checked in on this one at age 28 by opening a bottle recently. Beautiful. It has some surprisingly delicate spicy and floral characteristics that may develop further but you probably can't go wrong drinking this one now.

December 25, 2023 - Probably past peak. Remember this as lively, firm, fruity and complex. But that was long ago ....

October 29, 2023 - From 0375. 5th bottle. Cork crumbled this time only a bit. PnP. Now there is more heat/alcohol at the beginning. Seems one has to be a little patient ... (approx. 1 h.). Lovely Port on a rainy sunday afternoon.

February 18, 2023 - Disappointing performance. Lacked complexity and depth and just seemed old without having gained enough complexity. The alcohol is dominating too much compared to other flavors.
375ml bottle.
