Unknown before being tonged, the capsule revealed 'J. Barrow & Son 1887 Port'. There was no branding on the cork.
A rather oxidised nose, medium chestnut colour, a soft entry, but woody.
24 hours later, this has some heat, a little rubber, a long finish of lightly dry cedar and spice (ground cinnammon and clove).

Low fill, bottled by J Barrow & Son. Pale orange in colour with a pale green rim. Bottle stink on the nose, over some date and dried fig sweetness. Biscuits on entry with a dry but flavoursome palate; lots of rosemary oxidation flavours. Very hot aftertaste, before a long finish of burnt toast. Aged port, but still quite intensely flavoured. 83/100.
