The Last Hurrah; 4/7/2022-4/9/2022 (Seattle, Washington): Amber-orange in color. Light cinnamon and red fruit on the nose. There are some subtle notes that remind me of the funky characteristic of some Washington State and Oregon Syrahs. Rather than detract, it gives this wine a unique complexity that I really find enjoyable. There is cinnamon, mocha powder and strawberry on the rich, complex palate. The wine has great acidity and fine-grained tannins. It has a very long, luxurious finish.

Perfectly mature, the wine was loaded with medicinal cherries, raisins, cocoa covered kirsch, cloves and allspice. Sweet, round, warm and with acidity, all this needed was a nice cigar.

1935 TAYLOR, FLADGATE & YEATMAN VINTAGE PORT- from one of the oldest Port houses, founded in 1692; this was bigger, more full bodied and more expressive then the others in this flight; it gave toasted plum, black currant and black cherry fruit.

Ludicrously young showing for an 80 year old wine. I would have guessed 50 years younger! Still dark red colour. Quite a lot of alcohol poking out though.

The oldest bottle of Port I've tasted yet. This is a finesse style of Port with the color of rose hip[ tea. On the nose, chocolate covered strawberry jam, cherry griotte, cinnamon and all spice made the interesting perfume. Soft, silky, medium bodied and refined on the palate, the wine left you with soft, sweet, light chocolate and cherry sensations.
