1994 Martinez
1994 Martinez
Inspired by Jdaw's M97 TN
A huge blackcurrant smell filled the room while decanting. Dark in the decanter but lighter than expected in the glass. A nice mid to heavy weight. Black fruits quickly followed by lots of heat which fades into a minty finish. This should be good if the heat integrates.
More later.

Did that Mz97 TN inspire you to include such excellent pictures? Presumably they’re coming soon.

Yes, they will follow once the Mrs goes to bed and can't accuse me of spending too much time with my port geek friendsjdaw1 wrote:Did that Mz97 TN inspire you to include such excellent pictures? Presumably they’re coming soon.

Now a great molasses nose but a bit hollow in the mouth. Still lots of fruit and a good finish.
I have a feeling this wine needs to grow up. It has enough tannic dryness to see it through but enough fruity scrumptiousness to be wiped out in it's youth.
Score: 5-7
