WC95, decanted 1 day. Deep red with a wide rim. Delicious nose, full of bramble and black cherry. Black cherry on the palate, full of fruit with a second wave of dark chocolate tannins - really very impressive. The tannins calm a little on the late palate, allowing the black fruit to flow across the mouth. A little menthol heat on the aftertaste quickly goes to reveal the black cherry and dark chocolate finish. Fabulous Port, delicious today but will be better in a decade or two. 93/100.
Tasted at the Warre Cavadinha Vertical on 28th March 2023.

WC95. Dark dark red, 90% opaque. “Yuck.”
Delighted that Alex’s sample, a day later, was so improved.
