Pale and not bright. Odd sweet nose - almost as if chaptalised? Candy palate. Hot finish. Not very good.
Consumed 6/4/22.

A little sediment in the wine, mature; 90% opaque. Soft bruised fruit on the nose; floral with cornflower perfume. Sweet honey and rose hips on the palate; good acidity and with gentle tannins on the palate. The wine delivers a nice liveliness on the late palate. A flash of acidity on the aftertaste. Warm, redcurrant finish. Pleasant. 87/100. Tasted 06-Apr-22. Decanted 10½ hours.

Re: 1992 Burmester
A little cloudy, perhaps some powdery sediment dispersed in the wine. Aromas of coca cola, star anise, candy. Quite sweet on the palate with the alcohol standing out creating a little imbalance. The finish was medium+ though which is a positive trait. An OK port, just good without too much complexity going on. 87/100. Tasted 06-Apr-22.

35% opacity, cloudy dull brick red. Sweet strawberries and candy on the nose. Simple and sweet - chewy ripe strawberries.
