Cross-posting from TPF, which is where this Old & Odd tasting was organized.
1942 Hooper's Vintage Port
Look: Dark tawny, close to what you'd expect from a 10-yr old. Bright and clear in the glass - my favorite color of the night.
Nose: Something minty and almost pungent, possibly wintergreen but soured. Damp, dry cedar wood. (That does make sense if you've ever had a wood burning stove.) Some alcohol, but not in any way overpowering.
Taste: Smooth and even. Something that tastes like VA smells, but faint. Spirity. Can taste the cedar along with some faint almond and strawberry.
