1985 Cálem Vintage Port

[Eric Menchen]

Tasted blind. Medium ruby red with a slight brown tint. Lots of sweet tangy berry aromas, currant and raisin, blackberry, lingonberry, and later some faint spirit. In the mouth, this is tangy sweet, with medium warmth in a medium finish. Quite nice, but not as good as #7 (Quinta do Infantado). The warmth is slightly distracting here. 92 points. Later I noticed a Belgian quad oxidation aroma, cola spice, faint root beer/sassafras, and little off aroma as well.
