1985 Gould Campbell Porto Vintage
Community Tasting Note
Border Boss Likes this wine:
88 Points
Thursday, February 19, 2015 - Decanted six hours before service. This bottle was much more advanced than I expected from this wine. Light-to-medium brink red. The nose is showing cherries, as is the palate. Very little alcohol heat. The wine is medium sweet with a bit of a dry finish (not as much as typical Dow). This bottle was definitely fully mature. I have seven others and if the next one is like this, they should be drunk in the next 5 years.
