1985 Borges (& Irmao) Vintage Port

[Eric Menchen]

Tasted blind. Rube with some orange/brown character throughout. There is a medicinal cherry aroma, then some floral character along with dried weeds. In the mouth, this is quite sweet with tangy fruit and lots of spice. It is fairly warm in the finish, almost too much to the point of being distracting. Initially scored at 90 points, but the heat faded a bit later, for a final score: 91 points.
