1985 Dow vintage port
Lively and vigorous. Very tasty and enjoyable with many years ahead of it. But sadly guessed blind to be Taylor 1966! Many years of life ahead of it. 91/100. 14-Jun-12. Decanted approximately 2 hours.
Top Ports in 2023: Taylor 1896 Colheita, b. 2021. A perfect Port.
2024: Niepoort 1900 Colheita, b.1971. A near perfect Port.

D85: served blind. Dark red, 70% opaque. Red cherries on the nose. Quite hot, red fruit, mid weight. I mis-guessed Dow 1980; a man near me correctly guessed Dow 1985, and there were a range of 1983-like guesses within earshot. JDAW.
