  November 27, 2020 - After a deceiving bottle (probably a bad cork), this one is pristine. Very healthy crimson colour, no bricking at all. Fresh nose, noticeable alcohol, flowers and red fruit. Medium intensity, but far from a walkover. Decent finish. This bottle, with an excellent cork, is rather undeveloped. In this state of health, can go on at least 20 more years. Excellent QPR.

  July 19, 2019 - Purchased at Christie’s in Amsterdam in 2003. Pristine bottle, perfect level, label and cork. Decanted. Remarkably youthful colour, ruby red, little or no browning; light and lively nose, cherries and violets, cedar and warm spices, hint of alcohol, slightly stalky, good depth; medium bodied palate, youthful and energetic, fresh acidity and bright tannins, transparent rather than concentrated, hint of milk chocolate; rather light finish, good length.

  March 13, 2019 - Simple but nice vintage port, now fully mature. The sweetness is still evident, some alcohol is poking out, this is a rustic and honest attempt. Totally lacks the finesse and the grandeur of the very best, but alltogether satisfying on a cold March evening, with the wood stove burning happily. Ah yes, I did not mention the price: a mere 18 € when bought almost fourteen years ago. Eight more to go for me, no hurry whatsoever.

  January 24, 2019 - VT94 Port Horizontal: Very young blackberry fruit and a huge acidity and pronounced sweetness.
  The tannins are very young and the aftertaste is enormous and vibrant. This is a huge surprise but overall, this a huge wine with amazing potential.

  October 25, 2018 - Very nice and so youthful. Really enjoyed it. Very jammy and still some good fruit left. Not a plethora of flavours, just a very decent (and affordable) vintage port.
  Tannins are integrated. Not too sweet and the alcohol is not overpowering.
  Won’t keep it much longer, no benefit.
