From half

P'n'p

97 per cent opaque glossy black cherry juice. Properly glass-staining

A swirl produces cool fruits on the nose but hard to sense through post-covid-bunged-upness

This is a really thick port, lots of matiere. Lovely wash of blueberry on front palate. Black cherries. Then some plummy drying tannins.

Really spicy tangy finish - chocolate orange peel?

I have a fair amount so will continue to check in every couple of years, but maybe starting to lose the fruity exuberance of youth. Let's see how it fares overnight.

I've only had this Port a couple of times, first in February 2020, and have consistently found it to be a real stunner.

If I were confident that I would live well into my 90s, I'd stock up.

@ Glenn E. - I've also only had it twice before, and both times (i) I loved it (ii) it was more exuberantly fruity than this.
