Acquired from the cellar of AHB
Decanted (without filtration) very cleanly off a well formed thick crust.
Combined effort TN from DRT and ARK.
Decanted 8 Hours
Cherry nose with a hint of tobacco. Nice deep red with a little brown. Very thick and sticky in the mouth. Blackforest gateaux. Slightly hot in the middle. Nice long finish.
ARK says the finish is sour and DRT says sweet, so: Sweet 'n' Sour finish.
A decent enough port but not spectacular.
