1880 Whitwhams Millennium
Posted: 18:00 Tue 06 Jun 2023
Whitwham’s Millennium 1880: bottled 2001. Much lighter in colour than the other Ports drunk this evening, still opaque in the centre but with a wide rim. Expressive on the gentle nose, soft golden syrup and candied cherries. A lovely and elegant palate of star anise and a touch of very ripe pineapple. A little pleasing bitterness on the late palate. The hint of bitterness follows onto the aftertaste, a good length finish of blonde coffee and orange. Lovely drinking, but far inferior to the other Ports being poured this evening. 94/100. Drunk 01-Jun-23. Decanted ½ hour.
