1985 Martinez
Mz85, for the toasting of the nuptials of SushiNorth. At d+30 minutes dark red, 75% opaque, slightly bitter, such little nose as there is being closed. Like previous just-opened Mz85s.

Re: 1985 Martinez
Earlier in the evening Mr and Mrs Scribner were toasted with champagne; now it’s time for Mz85. Mid-sweetness at the start, drier at the end, with hints of several fruits: fig and damson I think, but lightly. Good length. It is not fantastic, but utterly drinkable fine vintage port.
A long and happy marriage! (The secret of which is dinner and dancing, every week. He should go on Tuesdays, she on Thursdays.)

Re: 1985 Martinez
Mz85, the following day. Much drier, with something plum-ish having replaced yesterday’s sweeter fruits. Still reasonable weight, but shortened by the passage of time.
