I've never seen "fart" used as a descriptor for port before! My note was a little more ordinary.

The cork was loose when the bottle was opened. Deep red colour, 50% opaque. Fresh pink muhroom gills on the nose, a very peculiar smell! A swirl concentrates the smell into something really quite unpleasant. So repulsive on the palate that it was spat out. Not scored. Decanted 6 hours.
Top Ports in 2023: Taylor 1896 Colheita, b. 2021. A perfect Port.

2024: Niepoort 1900 Colheita, b.1971. A near perfect Port.
