Ni77 (CPR). Dark red, 60% opaque. Big rich red fruit, and somehow very obviously a 1977. Some heat. A tip-top Port.

50% opacity, shiny ruby red. Very nice smooth red fruit on the palate. Guessed to be O77.

From a pota bottle. Deep red, the colour of cherry juice, delicious and mature; 60% opaque. A lovely nose of fresh and lively fruit, very pronounced. Fruit led entry, powerful and spicy, leading to a massive strawberry palate. The huge palate is supported by a strong acidity, which carries through onto the aftertaste before a strawberry candy and red licorice finish of good length. Very fine port. Served blind this was guessed to be Sandeman 1985. 93/100.
