1985 Souza Vintage Port

Post by John M. »

Pop and poured at backyard party. Cork was squishy at bottom and despite Durand usage, the very bottom broke off. Light earthy red, slightly opaque. Hints of floral. Immediately it was tasting a bit tawny-ish and I was concerned it was oxidized but after an hour it opened up to its full measure. Warm; touches of raspberry and earth...it seems advanced and at its peak plateau. Moderate finish. Quite pleasing.
