Well that was a surprise. Very nice, smooth Port. I was expecting some sort of tannin-bomb and I got a genuinely nice Port. That's about all I wrote, it was getting late in the 20 Port line-up. Could be a grower.

Eighth flight, palates are getting tired and ports are getting younger. Served alongside with Fonseca 2000.

Funny that KillerB describes this as smooth, and my notes say 'tannic', 'dry', and 'a bit stewed'. I didn't really get it with this port, thought it to be very closed. Difficult to attach a rating to it in its current state.
