1980 Gould Campbell Vintage Port

Post by John M. »

Decanted 3 hours, cork fell apart but no other issues. Almost no sediment. Dusty aroma (Had this in March 2012 and that bottle had bottle stink--this one was fine); color a faded garnet. Initial taste has a touch of prune, finishing with a light strawberry candy tone. A spicy finish with hints of peppercorn, a bit of heat. Has limited fruit. I would suggest a longer decant then 3 hours in the hopes the heat dies down. After taste is moderate to long and pleasing. Overall, this is a good, not a great port.
