One of four bottles from C&B broking in 2018
Cork removed pretty much in one piece. Loads of heavy sediment. Double decanted 1100 on morning of tasting.
Label and cork doesn't say anything otherwise, so assumed to have been bottled in Oporto.

Ck70. Much the better Ck70, being softer, richer, and overall just better.
