1983 Berry Brothers (Warre)
Looked brown, murky and soupy. Smelt similar. Not right. Likely heat damaged.

Warre. Muddy appearance, full of very fine silt. Spoiled nose, quite revolting; revolting palate. I thought this was a bottle affected by bacterial infection but it could have been heat damage as George has suggested.
Top Ports in 2024: Niepoort 1900 Colheita, b.1971. A near perfect Port.

2025: Quevedo 1972 Colheita, b.2024. Just as good as Niepoort 1900!
