Re: 1994 Ramos Pinto
75% opacity, dark red. Nose a bit closed. Jammy red fruit, strawberry jam! Full, tannic, lovely port. Maybe lacking a lit on acidity.

Re: 1985 Fonseca
75% opacity, very dark red. Nose a bit closed, plums and strawberries. Full, tannic, loads of dark fruit, chocolate in the finish. A typical F85 - very enjoyable yet plenty of promise.

Re: 1985 Taylor
50% oapcity, dark red. Loads of molasses and burnt caramel on the nose. Lovely rich fruit-laden in the mouth. Probably one of the best T85 I have tasted, but were it tasted blind I would never have guessed Taylor. Drinking very nicely.

40% opacity, warm red. Intense strawberries on the nose, lovely and rich. Sweet fruit and smooth. Very nice, maybe a little lighter than could be expected.

Re: 1980 Warre
80% opacity, very very dark red. Smooth entry, tannic, jammy dark red fruits - black plums and blackberries. Will be years yet before this hits full maturity, maybe a decade.

decanted 12 hours. 40% opacity, mature red, orange rim. Mature port, fruit evolved and extracted, slight bitterness. Guessed to be Cr82.

Re: Tue 17th April 2018: cellar reduction and health check
Many many thanks to Magnus for his generous invitation to review some ports he has in storage. Also thanks to Ian and Tony for additional bottles.The simple conclusion for the "healthcheck" was that many of the ports are in superb shape. The 1985s were some of the best I had tasted, G70 was in super...

Re: 2016 Declarations
Am I right in thinking none of QH, Mz or GC had an associated Quinta? I think that is quite significant. Anything produced under any of these brands would now be "a port wine produced from grapes/wines sourced from various places" Correct - but bear in mind that blending vintage ports has always ha...
