Ran out of Port tonight and found this in the back of my cellar where is sat dutifully for the past 15 years. Not much experience with these types of wines but found it to be a nice sweet dessert. Deep gold color in the glass. Dried sweet apricots, very syrupy.

Disclaimer; I'm opening this wine 2-3 months early, before bottle shock waiting time recommended by De Negoce.
Poured after 1 hour decant. Great classic notes of forest floor, mint, eucalyptus, cedar box and black cherries. On the palate, things get a little backwards. Some tannin up front, but nothing rolled back over the tongue, it just fizzled out. That being said, plush and mouthwatering with plenty of aging potential. Excuse the innuendo but similar to rounding 2nd or 3rd base and not getting to home plate. To be expected...revisit her in 2-3 months and surely she will be more welcoming.
