SushiNorth, Mrs SushiNorth, and jdaw1 met for port at TCP on Wed 16 Nov 2011, partly so that SushiNorth could see the famous TCP.

QH77: dark red, 70% opaque. A great colour. At D+0 lots of heat, but by D+1h the heat gentle, with a fruit that might have been either of dark cherry or plum. To taste heat, lightly then strongly. Fruit is plum. Medium to medium+ length. Lovely port.

Later I sensed candle wax, both the paraffin and the texture.

Even later I concurred with SushiNorth’s claim of vanilla caramel.

‘A’ on the placemats, as in qAhhrles harris.

Hint of brown around the edges, with a raspberry red coloration. It smells of chocolate, with a dry dustiness. Plums open, with a nice mouthfeel at mid-palate but a short tail. In an hour, it totally transformed with vanilla and caramel (Julian adds waxy) all over the nose, and then caramel and toffee in the mouth. The distinctness of these sugary flavors was quite enjoyable; 91 - drink up.
