July 29, 2023 - Horizontal of 1977 Fonseca, Taylor, Smith Wodehouse, and Sandeman at 3rd weekend of encampment. Roughest of the lot but still great three days later drunk in isolation with Logan.

April 28, 2023 - Age has lightened the color to a deep garnet. Very fragrant, with notes of spiced roasted plums, smoke, Christmas spices and a whiff of old wine cellar. The tannins have melted away to give way to a silky, velvety wine. Wonderful persistence. Excellent.

November 25, 2021 - Very plae rusty-ruby, almost translucent, tons of sediment on the bottom (I didn't decant--i've always been a fan of drinking all the dirty bits at the end which I think have concentrated earthy flavors and are delicious). This had silky dried cherry, cherry skin notes, more red fruits, most of the sweetness dropped out, very elegant, nice, lacked complexity but this was more about the texture palate; a lovely after dinner drink. Thanksgiving dinner at B's.

April 8, 2021 - Many years ago, I purchased a case of half bottles of this port and finished the last bottle about ten year ago I was worried that I had waited too long for my one full bottle. Instead I am delighted to find a lingering finish - over a minute, with not only the cherry and raspberry notes but also tobacco and graphite, with notes of Brazil nuts and just a hint of vanilla. Delightful.
