May 27, 2023 - Colorado Memorial Day Tasting; 5/26/2023-5/27/2023 (Longmont, Colorado): Medium garnet in color with some bricking. Aromas of red currant, mocha, huckleberry, and black licorice. Full-bodied, with boysenberry, lingonberry, and some chalky tannins. The first sips come across as an easy-to-drink Port, but the acidity seems just slightly out of balance. With more air, this is showing more and more like an off bottle.

December 24, 2022 - Off list at Pappas Brothers. Brief impression. Aromas of plums, mild burnt sugar, and savory herbs. Palate with sweet, ripe mildly sugared plums and cherries, herbs. Nice acids with mild+ tannins. Full bodied with a moderately short finish. Nice balance here. Don't have much experience with vintage port but I think this is in its early phase of maturity given its still prominent sweetness and primary fruit.

October 14, 2022 - First bottle was so good we recently popped a second. Excellent, intense Port that is still 20 years from peak. Silly value.
