I have been missing port as am currently largely separated from my cellar. But had this to hand.
Popped decanted given an hour and then poured
A full pigeon’s blood ruby with only slight paling at rim
Quite a hot nose with the fortifying spirit showing in the herbaceous element
Very sweet strawberry fruit on the mid palate.
A remarkably youthful bottle - I am not sure I would have put this earlier than 1992 blind.
Very good but not amazing port. Balance (currently) imperfect.
Consumed in part 9/7/23
