QH77. Decanted 10am; red-purple, 80% opaque. Nosing of cherry red cherries. To taste, early comes fruit, richly sweet. Later comes heat felt most strongly on tip of tongue. Very long.
Re: 1977 Quarles Harris
dark red, good mature vintage port, cherry flavoured nose; good length, very balanced and good complexity. Drinks beautifully now! Best bts I experienced so far; quite a bit of bt variation experienced with this port.

Re: 1977 Quarles Harris
Looking to be a mature red colour, 90% opaque. Subdued on the nose, showing very little. Medium bodied, lots of tannin and little fruit. Dry aftertaste and finish. A poor bottle. 80/100.
Top Ports in 2023: Taylor 1896 Colheita, b. 2021. A perfect Port.
2024: Niepoort 1900 Colheita, b.1971. A near perfect Port.

Corky nose - dark red and very dry. Not good.
