A Graham's vertical private tasting at a fellow I do not know. He had bought all the bottles and they were of bottled in Porto. The bottles were opened after we arrived (not optimal) and served in 2 flights of 3, so basically pop'n pour. The were taken directly out of the wine refrigerator.
Dark red with brown rim. A funky scent of bubblegum and watermelon. Very intricate, light and delicate. This was the best smelling port of the night and it wasn't even close for me. This port was a huge surprise as I had thought it would be in the bottom 3 as it was a bit of a funny vintage year as to what I have read. It was very tasty, young and bubbly and with completly different profile that then ones from the 00's.
