1985 Delaforce vintage port

I nearly forgot this tasting note from the Deeper Underground offline. What was I thinking!

This was the port served with dinner, and went very well with a rib-eye steak. Deep in colour, still opaque, and with a smell of freshly baked home-made mince pies. A little bland on initial tasting but a lovely fruit-dominated palate developed with a little more time in the glass. The aftertaste was short but pleasant. Perfectly respectable. 5/5 or 88/100. Decanted for 8 hours and drunk on 28 January 2008.

Thanks Alex,

I quite enjoyed this one good all round although I don't think it will improve

I'm with Simon on this. Very pleasant but not looking to get any more interesting.
