Outside dining at Juanita & Maude's in Albany. 6 hour decant. Served blind to Charles, Walter and Michael. Purple in color. Very aromatic. Bold prune, dried apricot and dried fig flavors. Long finish. All guess vintage Port (but all at least 2 decades too young). Almost certain to still be great in 2030. A profound Port!

Watching Super Bowl with Walter. Decanted for 3 hours. Served along side a 1989 La Lagune to accompany a savory pork loin roast that Walter had made. Dark ruby in color. Berries and leather om the nose. Superb from the get-go in the mouth. Velvety yet complex. Evolved during the game, but remained at high level until consumed. Must be at peak.

Watching Super Bowl with Walter. Decanted for 3 hours. Served along side a 1990 La Lagune to accompany a savory pork loin roast that Walter had made. Cigar box and cedar on the nose. In the mouth we do have some fruit (dark cherry and plum), but primarily tobacco, earth tones, and nuances of meat. Initially, ight to medium body, it added substantial weight throughout the game. Although it never quite reached the level of the 1990 La :agune, this was a delicious wine, nonetheless.
