Port wine should perhaps be added -- A Trollope

Re: 2000 Dow vintage port
Total dumb phase right now.
I had to chew to get the flavors out of this one,
the nose has that spicy and raw green peppers note I found in the 07 but it was muted.
The flavors were muted to at first, but then opened up into some tart cherries with a strong tannic backbone.
Fulll flavored and not as sweet as expected with a bitter finish.
I put this at 90 pts in a relative scale as it tasted like it had all the stuffings of good port but I m not sure how to really judge this now as it defintely was muted.

T+6 days
Tight raisins, plums and allspice on the nose.
Strong tannins, over ripe figs, tart cherries, lush stewed cinnamon plums and more tannins. Finishes with a gripping tannic bite of sweet star anise.
A definitely improvement from T+2.

2000 (24+hrs)
A dark purple - similar in color to the '94. Also somewhat tight, dark-toned nose of liquorice, chocolate and cherries. The palate is rich with very bright acidity, young chalky tannins and a chocolately, slightly hot finish. As with the '97, I liked this a lot but it has yet to blossom. 93+ pts
