2003 Alves de Sousa Vintage Port
corked

Since I can't smell or taste TCA, I took a tasting note anyway. Medium garnet color. A little alcohol on the nose. Elegant, round, and very rich. Good tannins and acidity. Cherry... hard to say whether it's a black cherry or a bing-like cherry. Very pleasing.

Score: 93 points. Yes, I rated a corked bottle 93 points. Like I said, I can't smell or taste TCA so as long as the bottle isn't too old I won't notice any side effects and can often find a very pleasing Port where others can't get past the TCA.
