From Paris with Love, 2023 Edition; 11/24/2023-11/25/2023 (Paris): Very few wines will arrive at the end of a line up like the one we had and still claim a spot on fatigued palates ( let alone the whole restaurant watching the show of it being opened with Port Tongs in the middle of La Tour D’Argent) and leave a lasting memory. Ever so elegant and balanced, mellow not punchy or heavy albeit still full of energy and charm. Spice, rich fruit, cherries Mir Ethan anything, soft across from colour to palate for port standards and fulll of charm. A magical experience thought and through. 95

Soirée dégustation de rêve 2e essai 17 Mai 2018. Couleur assez pale mais très claire et limpide. Un nez aromatique et très agréable sur les épices, le cuir, la figue. D'une très belle finesse, paraissant encore jeune et très frais avec une finale très longue. Une belle surprise, un des bons porto que j'ai bu dans ma vie, même si je n'aime plus tellement le porto, cette bouteille était spéciale.

Medium bodied, raisin, red cherry, chocolate, and menthol notes. Shows its alcohol a bit transparently, especially on the finish. Gains in texture with time. Possibly a bit out of whack due to some storage issues, and shows some traces of VA, but a nice port nonetheless, particularly so given opinions on the vintage.

Darker color, deeper depth on the palate, lacking structure.
