This really needed a bit of air to come around Upon opening: Pretty much nothing on the nose. After decanting back into the bottle, and left for an hour, it showed typical port aromas and flavors

Grade: EX-. Very dark, plush, coating mouth feel with raisins, prunes, good spice/cloves on the mid-palate and a dark chocolate-covered-raisin and espresso bean finish. Very mature, rounded and integrated tannins: tastes older than its vintage. Needs straining (obviously).
My Grades: EXX-Exceptional, EX-Excellent, VG-Very Good, G-Good, O-Ordinary, P-Poor, U-Ungraded

Pretty much delivered what was expected. Good fruit on the nose without being really interesting, same on the palate -a bit peppery and hot. A port to do the job, if not to impress. Fair price, though, and nothing wrong with this. Drinking now.
2.5/5

Great QPR, really enjoyed. This is an unfiltered port, but I did not notice any sediment.
