Very herbaceous nose, bringing crushed endives and salad leaves. Time blew off some excess sulphur to reveal beautiful pure fruit on the palate in a satin smooth body. The tannins are huge but superbly ripe to give a massive palate presence. The aftertaste is an incredibly complex explosion of fruit salad and leads to an immense and complex finish. This is a stunning port and one of the absolute stars of the vintage. 97-99. Tasted over 1-4 days as part of the extended 2011 tasting.

I found this note on the Quinta's website. It only acknowledges "The port forum", rather than the man himself. I found it strangely pleasing that these notes are considered worthy of quotation and an excellent note it is too.

Reproduced with spelling mistake and all to show it was genuine. Nice to know others read what I write! Now all I need is for someone else to try the port and tell me what they think.

Availability is somewhat limited - possibly due to lots of people reading your tasting note

I expect those who have purchased might be saving them at this point though, assuming 2011 will likely be closing down for a good sleep now before hopefully waking bright eyed and fabulous sometime around 2032 onwards...

Well here you are then.
