I didn't take any formal notes on this last night, so here's the short version.
1998 Cockburn's Quinta dos Canais VP
Bricking has now overtaken the color. A mix of fruit that is drying out and secondary flavors taking over. No awkward spirit and mostly resolved tannins. While not the most complex SQVP out there, it was an enjoyable Port and the decanter didn't last long. This has mostly reached a mature state and I don't really see any need to further age it. If you can find it at a good price it makes a great "cellar defender".
