Opened to drink while considering some port related advice I have been given. I find it helps to digest the wisdom of the sage with a glass or two.

A bit darker and a bit fuller than the previous bottle tasted here, it still looks rather brown at the centre, but nonetheless a perky and complete wine and just the thing to aid cogitations. If you have a stash it's time to be drinking it.

I am pleased to see these being put to the use I had hoped for when they were liberated from my cellar :D

Being it seems to be the best SQVP of my birth year, glad to see the couple examples I've had are representative.

Delighted, and if you have anything else clamouring for it's manumission you know where to find me.

Now you are just trying to make me feel both old and impressed with the amount of port you have drunk in a short time. :lol: But seriously I think this is the only 88 I have ever tried, I suppose there must be others, one day there may be a great colheita. I like the 88s for claret though, very austere and long lasting.
