D70 (‘DRT 1’), decanted in the morning. Cloudy orange muck, and clearly a port in trouble.

Rusty orange, 20% opaque. Offensive plastic nose, heavily oxidised with lots of marzipan and almond paste. Hollow entry with little flavour initially but some gentle juniper and pine resin that grows on the palate. A hot aftertaste with lots of spirit showing, then a lively stewed rhubarb syrup finish of good length. Soft and oxidised, but not offensive on the palate. Served blind, this was guessed to be a compromised Warre 1970. 73/100. 11 hour decant.

Hmm? I think "N/R" might have been more appropriate :roll:

That would have been fair - I couldn't decide whether to score or not. I decided to score since it was drinkable, just not very good.
