Oscar visited London, so the team sampled some VPs and some stuff described as ‟brown sticky stuff”. Some were served sighted, some were blind.

W82 LBV, brought by JDAW. Taste is big red full and lovely. Mid-wight. Very soft. Lovely port, and even better value for money.

Guesses all over the shop N66, ’70s, ’80, D85, W83 (one point), and G91. It gets them every time.

Youthful maturity, pale rim; 70% opaque. Fruity on the nose, but with some restraint. Medium bodied fruit on the palate with a lovely twist of citrus. Good palate development with a lovely presence. Attractive licorice infused fruit finish. Very fine. 88/100.
