87+ Big, brutish vintage port, enjoyed over Christmas. Very hefty, showing little sign of development and calming down.
This made me come to the realisation that Tawny or Colheita styles are by far my favourite in port, and I love vintage port but only after a very long time in bottle...30 years?

Still holding up like a champ, like a true vintage port would/should. Color still very dark ruby with no signs of aging as of yet. Fruit still bursting from the glass with tannins for days. Medium plus finish. Definitely a rebuy! Also, throwing some serious sediment!

Medium light red. Nose is medium intense, figs, stems and brown sugar. Very nice balanced plum and dried apricot flavours and a sweet finish.

Deep but bright red. Strong berry flavors and strong alcohol content. Interesting and delicious.
