[winesecretary]

+ 24 hrs

85% plum colour, red-brown rim.

Mint and milk chocolate on nose with some slightly sour cherries underneath

In the mouth nutty with more sour cherries on the finish and some drying tannins.

+48 hours

A touch lighter and browner.

Sultanas, almost fruit cake, on nose with just a hint of acetone.

In the mouth, notes of christmas pudding - dark rich christmas pudding with suet. Molasses on the finish. Gloopy mouthfeel.

Very developed from day before.

Overall, pleasant drinking albeit not a port of great style or finesse.

Decanted 18/5/20, refrigerated and tasted 19/5/20 & 20/5/20
