April 2, 2023 - “The amazing world of Garrafeira Port”. Vertical tasting, wine #3/4. Aged in casks for 7 years, then to demijohns until 1978 when it was bottled. This has an array of aromas and flavours, some I have never experienced. The most complex and hedonistic Port I have ever tasted. Took me an hour to finish a glass and it was way too soon to be parted from such masterpiece. Medium+ amber. Eruptive aromas and flavours signed by delicate string of malt whisky, figs, prunes, coffee, dried honey, impeccable balance.

December 20, 2022 - Wax capsule, but no intact cork. I hoped that the substantial wax capsule would save this Port... but it was awful. DNPIM.

November 20, 2022 - FTLOP 17th Anniversary; 11/18/2022-11/20/2022 (Seattle, Washington): Bottled in 1971. Decanted 1978. Cloudy orange-brown in color. Smoky nose with creosote, roasted chestnuts, some cinnamon, and woody notes on the nose. There's a richness in the mouthfeel but the sweetness and balance are way off. The bottle just feels tired and may just be an off bottle of this wine.

September 26, 2019 - 2019 FTLOP Harvest Tour; 9/19/2019-9/28/2019 (Portugal): This wine was placed in demijohn in 1971 and bottled in 1978. Vegetative and woody notes on the nose with a touch of underlying orange peel. I can’t see the color very well due to the dim lighting, but from the nose of this, it seems old. Good acidity and some bitterness on the finish.

September 10, 2017 - Port Wine Day Masterclass: A Flight of the '60s (Six Senses Douro Valley): Funky, smoky, interesting nose, with some VA. Rich and unctuous body showing dried fig and raisin. Soft finish with good acidity.
