Opened about 1 hour before tasting. Decanted and filtered before serving. The port exhibits a beautiful ruby color and lots of spices on the nose. Drank over the next 2 hours with a section of Stilton and other cheeses, smoked salmon, charcuterie, and other morsels. Absolutely terrific.

To my palate, this wine never achieved what I would have expected, considering that JS gave it 96 points, if memory serves. I bought solely on ratings only to find that it never tasted all that good. My bottles, which have been perfectly stored in a temperature and humidity controlled cellar, are fading quickly. I plan to drink all that I have remaining and move on.
