Had a glass from a just opened bottle at Oceanaire for $50. Not impressed. Smoky is the dominant aroma, not bad -- but lacking other notes. Not very complex on the palate. Not bad, and if it was free I would drink it, but not very good.

Port Wine Day Masterclass: A Flight of the '60s (Six Senses Douro Valley): Clear, pale gold in color. Pretty nose with lots of brown sugar. Fresh, lovely body, with notes of honeycomb. Fine, elegant tannins balance out the sweetness for a nice package. This is stored in big barrels, and bottled on demand.

Zachys Wine Vault II (Le Bernadin Prive): Really fabulous. Perhaps not one of the big names, but one of the most enjoyable ports that I've had. It had transformed into a nice caramel color. Was decanted and then poured and we prob drank over the course of an hour or two. Lots of caramel and raisin and this wonderful sweetness. Alcohol less pronounced than it sometimes is. I thought very enjoyable.
