  This is singing now, still young but mellowing nicely. The 97’s have taken their time to come around

  Half bottle of this Vintage Port.
  
  Decanted for 3 hours. Full bodied with some signs of age on the taste. Black fruit, matured, oak. Very nice but I've had better. I shouldnt compare actually since they all are mostly great. Fun to drink a piece of history, allways.
  
  I wouldnt keep it too long in the cellar but it is of course personal preference.

  Funk on the nose - meats, spice cologne and flesh. A bit gigolo, tbh. Umami elements. Then nice toned fruit and grilled veg notes. Musk oil. Plums. Lovely finish, albeit you need to appreciate the disharmony.
