Community Tasting Note

Monday, October 9, 2017 - MNB: Fortified Wines: (blind)
Pale ruby to a tawny rim.
Extremely dusty nose - dusty date skins, dried fruit, slight dried black cherry.

20g RS, 20% alcohol, high acid, medium plus tannins. Nutty and oxidative - almond skins, date skins.

Laterals
- LBV Port - structured but also well aged showing oxidation. Structure is still aggressive.
- Madeira - not oxidative enough and color is wrong. Also Madeira doesn't have tannins.
- Tawny Port - could be this as well but would be softer in structure.

Final call: LBV Port around 10 years?
