  Served blind.
  Plums, raisins, walnuts, figs with more of the same in the mouth. Tangy, textured, rich and generous with a little aniseed and boiled sweets on the finish, sweet, alcohol present but well managed. Touches of leather here as well.
  I went with a Late 80's Rutherglen Port

  This certainly needed decanter time and was better on the second day after being left in an open decanter overnight.
  Raspberry jam and Licorice were strong flavours coming through on both days along with a hint of mint. The casia notes on day one had changed to a less earthy and more refined cinnamon on day 2. The time in the decanter has made it more elegant.
  It still looks young with the colour still a deep dark purple that doesn't have seemed to have shifted much despite its 25 years.
  This is a very fine example from Stanton and Killeen.

  THis took a few hours to open up. Plenty of spice - cinnamon, pepper hints of mint and anise. At 21 this has a fair amount of life left in it. There is some raspberry jam and spice on the palate but with an underlying greeness that takes the edge off the sweetness. Tannins provide some serious length and keep everything balanced
