QH91. Red, 60% opaque. I was too overwhelmed by that which I think was bottle stink.
Re: 1991 Quarles Harris
red colour, slightly watery rim, for a 20 year port already quite pale, strange sweetish smell, a bit thin, alcoholic finish. Not a very complex wine, a bit bland

Re: 1991 Quarles Harris
Mid red colour, firm on the rim; 60% opaque. Grapefruit on the nose, and sharp balckberries. Soft immediate impression on the palate, thena sharp acidity which fades back to reveal soft coffee and raspberry; air on the palate releases more coffee. Fruity aftertaste and a long, sticky finish. 85/100.
Top Ports in 2023: Taylor 1896 Colheita, b. 2021. A perfect Port.
2024: Niepoort 1900 Colheita, b.1971. A near perfect Port.

Floral nose with a nice texture, but spritzy in the mid-palate and a bitter finish.
