  February 21, 2024 - Rich black fruits and alcohol stimulate the nose, and repeat on the palate. Some chalky tannins add some interest to the middle palate and finish. QPR is high. No issues recommending this as an everyday port that will satisfy the itch while waiting for the big ones.

  January 3, 2024 - Super de belle bouteille, un RQP!
  Profond et ample mais une puissance maitrisée.
  Oui c'est sucré mais on s'attend à ça.
  Mures et pruneaux avec du tabac et du chocolat.
  Super long et persistant.
  Avec le beau morceau de Stilton...a fait des ravages.
  Sublime accord tout indiqué d'ailleurs!

  November 5, 2023 - Had a bit in common with its big brother, the 2018 Taylor Vintage Port, minus that wine's impressive depth. Lots of big, very dark fruits, some pleasant chalky tannic structure, this could actually age a bit. Great value for what it is. Rating: 89+

  Nice sweetness and heat but needs more itensity and integration of fruit.

  July 29, 2023 - Obvious sweet start, syrupy texture based like a reduce sweet balsamic vinegar but no acidity. Background of very dark, dominant fruit like blackberry or dark figs.
