• Review of the evening as a whole;

[Alex Bridgeman]

Orange-brown in colour, 20% opaque. Oxidised on the nose, slightly maderised. Soft, nutty and tawny on the palate with nice and attractive balancing acidity. Good concentration on the palate. Fabulous, huge aftertaste with superb concentration. A real surprise of a port after the initial smell. 91/100. Decanted 14 hours

W60, decanted 05:00. Tawny colour, 30% opaque. Nose described as acidic and horrible. Not tasted.

[PhilW]

tawny-like, actually very nice, but not how it should have been, oxidised. Not rated (faulty).
