Really solid vintage port. Not a blockbuster but a classy wine. It was a pleasure to drink this over the last week. Great mix of deep, rich black and blue fruit with secondary and tertiary notes adding interest. Just a nice value in aged vintage port. I wish I had more.

Dinner at Home (Fremont, CA): From a 375, decanted 1 hour. Surprisingly light translucent color with some bricking; nose is moderately aromatic, red fruit, berries, some heat; palate is full bodied, medium sweetness, simple red fruits that fade through the midpalate, high alcohol but reasonably balanced (just a tad hot), medium acidity; short-medium finish. At maturity, this lacks the complexity and concentration of a top tier port. Nevertheless, this is enjoyable and a good port. Drink within the next few years. 86

Elegant silky texture with perfect port flavors. This bottle is singing right now. Wish I had more.

Drinking very well, but still youthful.
