TN: 1936 Massandra Vintage Port

[Al B.]

Decant: 2 hours - Livadia wine. Pale colour, a deep variation of honey. An odd, almost soapy, nose with some strange metallic and pine needle tints; not attractive. The odd taste comes through in the mouth but is quickly replaced with sweetness from layers of different kinds of honey. The alcohol shows an initial flash on swallowing but then leaves behind a surge of marmalade that fades rapidly before lingering almost unnoticed for a while. A wine which is perfectly respectable. 86 points
