  Purchased for $50 and opened for #tawnytuesday. Burnt amber tawny in color with garnet hues. Lovely nose of toffee, vanilla stone fruit. On the palate, lots of the same with the stone fruit morphing into peach and nectarines. Almost hints of peach tea. I love the play between the vanilla and stone fruit. The mouthfeel is luxurious, almost like a cashmere sweater. So soft and elegant. Yet the acidity is still vibrant and lip-smacking. There's a sight bitter orange note on the medium length finish. It's not bad, it adds another dimension, but I don't like that it interrupts that vanilla and stone fruit duet.

  The last glass from the btl.
  This is a perfect glass of port.
  Rich, brilliant, utterly complex, superbly balanced and everything in place. The length…
  
  All the beautiful aromas that make mature, great port GREAT.
  
  Wish I had more…

  After a few months opened under cork, this is absolutely singing!
  Amazing length, complexity, build and richness.
  Medium sweetness with amazing acidity.
  Tannins are no more.
  This is the kiss of sheer perfection with just a minor mini-flaw: the finish has a quirky unpleasant small streak of burnt hair.
  
  Other than that, this is perfection!

  A lovely glass to fire up the evening, together with a little bit of aged Gouda and a lovely, creamy Brie with ammonia aromatics.
  
  Light tawny
  Beautiful, elegant nose
  Long, balanced magical, non-neurotic taste that is simply a zen monk in meditation. Sheer balance.
