BA Terminal 5 South business lounge: Graham 6 Grapes, the bottle having gone down to mid-shoulder but no clue as to how long it has been open. Scarlet in colour with a narrow rim. Baked blackcurrant nose. Gentle, floral blackcurrant entry; the acidity in the blackcurrant grows, really highlighting the fruit. Hints of chocolate and lavender. The blackcurrant, menthol and black liquorice combine on the palate. This is impressive! It’s lighter than a VP or bottle matured LBV but certainly tastes as though it has the structure to age in bottle for a few years. 87/100.
Top Ports in 2023: Taylor 1896 Colheita, b. 2021. A perfect Port.

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

But... what about the other bottle? (which also appears to be open)
Surely you didn't miss the opportunity to do a bottle variation comparison? ;)
