Unsuccessfully pulled the cork, it came out in bits!
Pungent leathery nose, plums, prunes and a little rubber, sweaty. Tasting, the fruit is light, the acidity and sweetness more prominent, with the sweetness a little clingy on the finish. Hot. Tannins smooth and most noticable at the finish. Acidity lasts, and makes it rather moreish, if a little overpowering!
The other half of the bottle to be reported tomorrow.
Decanted, some heavy sediment towards the end.
Dark ruby colour with a little brown showing; red holding to the rim.1991 Delaforce Corte

Finished it off.
Nose much smoother, fruit coming through.
Smoothing out very well in the mouth - again fruit coming through, and a hint of mint. Sweetness and acidity better integrated, tannins still there on the finish but fading a little. A touch more heat, but this is good port. Majestic are doing two for £32 which is a little hard to resist!
