1980 Gould Campbell Vintage Port

Post by Andy Velebil »

From a .375ml bottle. A light ruby-ish brown, almost akin to a young basic Tawny. Initially the fruit was semi-sweet with resolved tannins, cinnamon, raisin, a little eucalyptus on a soft texture. That semi-sweet beginning changes to a much drier fruit profile on the back end and on the long finish. Seamless throughout, with not a hint of any alcohol, just a lovely balanced and mature (in this 1/2 bottle format) Vintage Port.

Yes, it was decanted about 4 hours when I started drinking it.
