Berry Bros bottling. Decanted at 1800 today, to be consumed with the extended family once the kids have gone to bed
Tasting note added on 11 Jan 2106:
Very poor effort on my part, I forgot to write a tasting note at the time, so this from memory. A sweet nose, and in the mouth caramels that linger for a nice long aftertaste, although this felt a little out of balance with some bitterness. This port was on much better form the following day (Christmas Day), so perhaps I didn't give a sufficiently long decant. So 18 hours after decant, some hints of dried fruits had turned up and the port felt much more balanced and smooth. Very fine in fact.
