TN: 1994 Tesco Vintage Port

[Al B.]

Decant: 9 hours - Deep red in colour, very slight hint of brown on the rim and with an opaque centre. Stewed nose, smelling quite fruity but not attractive - almost Douro Bake. Sweet in the mouth, vanilla ice cream dominates the flavours but some blackcurrants show through. There is a very noticeable tannic structure but the (fairly bland) sweetness is never out of balance. The aftertaste startes with a burn, hangs around briefly and then vanishes. 84 points
