Birthyear wine for my daughter, I'd hoped for a bit more (though I had no right to as I paid < $30). Good sapidity, medium-bodied, mature/fully mature for my tastes. Maybe not a perfect cork. A half step less on day two. 20,5% abv.

PNP after dinner. Surprisingly soft with light tannins. Bought at retail so no idea how it was stored. Lots of sediment. Nice Port but not sure I’d hold if this was a typical bottle. Very subtle and not overly sweet. Very easy to drink but not much wow factor. 91 might be too generous. Good for the $60 I paid.
Drank after dinner with chocolate over the course of a couple weeks. Delicious and we loved it. I think it has plenty of life left if cellared well. Lots of sediment

This is still giving beautifully. Had over a four day period and it softened a bit over the period but held tight to its rich roots all along. Nose was plummy and leathery. Palate was viscous, fully of dark fruit, moderate heat, some spice background and a long supple finish.

Lovely port wine this. Very plummy and warm, but not too much so. Wouldn’t keep this much longer.
Stood up well against Stilton.
