Community Tasting Note

Saturday, October 2, 2021 - Dinner at Basque Kitchen by Aitor (Basque Kitchen, Waterboat House, Singapore): Nice stuff, if rather advanced for a vintage port just approaching the 30-year mark. From a bottle that has been opened for a few days, this was showing very nicely on the night. I really liked the nose, with its notes of molasses and dried muscats, along with some savoury preserved plum aromas, maybe a touch of cherry liqueur, all patted down with touches of earth and gentle spice. Very nice. The palate was full and round in the mouth, with a yummy melange of plums and cherry liqueur, earth and molasses, all very nicely integrated and balanced. The finish ended with a hint of milk chocolate and gentle spiciness. Very resolved and delicious to drink at the moment. While neither the most complex nor the most compelling, this was a very solid, very enjoyable port, good with a series of different cheeses as one would expect.
