N60: nose is very floral. Taste is high-toned eucalyptus. Sweet, full rich length, medium weight.
For me, second-placed in the WOTN competition.

Chlorine? At the outset, the nose was as if someone dumped 5 gallons of Vermont maple syrup into my swimming pool. Rather curious. Blew off after 30-45 minutes. Bit of cinnamon and nut meg. Not bad, per se, but I found this a little uninspiring. 83pts

Good colour, clear centre. Peaches and white cherries all over the very big nose. Terrific texture; lovely entry but afterta big wave of sweet red fruit the ripe orange acidity charges through. Massive aftertaste, full of mature sweet fruit with a very long finish. Super port. 91/100. My wine of the night.

This was the eighth port of the night and I was obviously getting into my stride with my usual brand of elaborate and overly-detailed tasting notes...

Shocking! I do hope that in the original you used em dashes (‟ ”) rather than mere hyphens (‟-”).

Oops! Sorry. I don't know what the unicode string is for an em dash when writing with a ball point pen.
