Initial impression is hmmm...strange.. with plenty of aromas, albeit unidentifiable! Cherry notes, bell pepper, star anise, tea, menthol, cinnamon and dark chocolate. On the palate its high acidity balances the sweetness nicely. A long satisfying finish with flavours lingering on the palate. I can s...

Obscure house! Cherry jam, plum, cranberry and menthol. Med+ acidity, good flavour but medium finish. Good overall.

A little Cork taint here, liquorice and smoke. Good

Prune, damson jam, black cherry jam, hints of citrus fruit, watermelon, mint, bell pepper, it is fresh and somewhat mineral on the palate with its high acidity beautifully balanced against the sweetness. The tannins are smooth and the palate is packed with flavour. Long finish with the plummy, cherr...

Raisins, prunes a little overripe nose. On the palate a little thin with coffee notes. I felt this showed a tawny character tonight. 06/04/2022

Nice nose, kirsch, tea, damson jam, plum and prune. I would have liked a little more acidity to balance against the sweetness however the finish is medium plus long. Not bad, in fact a very good port. 89/100

Quite aromatic, cherry jam, morello cherry, a little cinammon and clove spice.Medium finish, a little mono-dimentional, not much complexity on display. Good. 86/100.

50 Year-Old Kopke White Port (To be released 2022)
Nose-Caramel, cinnamon and clove spice, aniseed, mineral with a fresh nose despite the age.
Palate- Apricot Jam, coffee, walnuts, high acidity very nicely balanced against the sweetness. Long finish- Outstanding.

I'm in the office on Thursday so will print them then (in case there are any last minute changes). Thank you. They have just been updated. There was a light disagreement about sighted versus blind. Then Alex revealed “Believed Vintage Port”. I have hinted “Magnum”. Do any others wish to reveal clue...

Yes please, how about we do half and half in terms of blind tasting. I am terrible at it, but it is not really about guessing the wine, just some speculative fun!
