Mz85: decanted 8am. Lovely dark red, 50% opaque. Nosing of tannin, dry plums, and some cherries behind. To taste a very soft start with red fruit. Heat mid- to late-palate. Lovely, though shorter than perfect.

Strawberry and some heat on the nose. Cherry sweetness - good weight and structure with powdery tannins in the finish and some mint on the end. Very good Port.

Medium dark colour, lovely aroma; Very well balanced, firm with good fruit. Very pleasant, but eclipsed by both 77s for me.
