For The Love Of Port

Rusty burgundy color with burnt sugar notes in the nose. On the sweeter side with a dry finish - a little on thin on the mouth feel. Hints of baking spice and clean grape. Just enough acidity to make it an enjoyable vintage. This is drink or hold. I don’t think it’ll improve, but no rush to drink them if you have some. 90 points.

Decant 4 hours:

Cork is a mess, showing seepage and the bottom half is very crumbly.

The wine is full of soft tannin, sweet fruit and sweet fruit in a pretty light frame, which seems to really help balance the berry, citrus and coffee notes. The finish is quite long, with a grand marnier-esque character. Delicious and in its prime.

Drinking again tonight... Fairly simple port, tangerines, clean, dry, kind of short finish. Rusty lighter color. Very smooth. 89 points.
