Closed nose. Nice weight. Very, very tannic and dry.
Oops! Should I have left this one sleeping?
More later.

Very fresh black fruits on the nose. Thick, chewy and tannic. Chocolate and damson jam. Big long finish.
Very nice juice. A keeper.

How much did it cost?

£15 from Sainsburys. I bought these in a sale at 25% off about 2 years ago. I think they still have them at full price of £20 per bottle.

Annoyingly,
Sainsbury’s’ port page doesn’t list what they have.
(And yes, the apostrophe usage hurt.)

If there was a shortlist for the title of 'Best undeclared vintage since 1931' - 1996 should be on there.
I'm not rushing to drink any more before they turn 20..
