Opened at 2215 last night, decanted at 0930 this morning.

Nose has jammy red fruit, perhaps not surprisingly.

Red to the rim. Beautiful port. Too young really but drinkable with pleasure.

G00, opened 22:15, decanted at 09:30. Dark dark red, 80% opaque. Mid weight, loverly dark fruit, great balance. Not super old bones in it, but in a great state right now.

Graham 2000. Dark red colour with a wide rim. Restrained on the nose but bringing some sweet fruit on the palate - although a little closed and unbalanced with the fruit very sweet and only a trace of the tannins which would be desired to match the sweetness. Perfectly pleasant on the palate, but the tannins only really start showing themselves on the finish. In a closed phase, but with enough patience this wine will be rather lovely. 88/100. Opened and Audouzed at 22.15, double decanted at 09.30 and tasted at 20.05.

G00. Medium dark red and garnet. Nose seems reticent. Fruity palate but seems somewhat simple; might still be closed down? Good tannins for a long life. Check back in 5 years to see if it has opened up. 92 points.

80% opcaity, deep dark red. Chewy bramble, chocolate, faint tannin.
