Oh, how I love this Port!

Always great and has a solid future still ahead of it.

2nd day- Nose lesser-body very tannic & brandy filled-I like this profile but most would not.

I would give it a 18-18+/20.

Why do you think that most would not, John?

The comments I get on this type of old port from friends is about the tannin and the brandy showing. They

want it smooth and balanced but I like port with grip.
