    December 28, 2023 - Elegant and refined but also a bit boring. Lacks personality and depth. Alcohol seems to dominate a bit to much. Huge disappointment.

    November 11, 2023 - Second port for me. The first time it crashed and burned (tawny), This time it was delicious! Decanted for an hour+. Nose was not very fruity, alcohol, spices, raisins, prune and blackberries. Palate was lucious and sweet, but balanced. Not as liqueur-ish as expected, surprisingly refreshing. The bottle was emptied before we knew it.....Had it with charcuterie, allround very nice match, but exceptional match with dark chocolate , gingerbread biscuits, and crackers with the local brown cheese G35!
