1985 vintage. This was the first vintage for Jeremy Bull ( who moved from Taylor's) and as I tasted it young many times, I considered it a sleeper of the vintage (with Fonseca being the superstar). And it surely does not disappoint now at almost 4 decades old. Solid colour. Still lots of black fruit in the nose and the mouth, dark chocolate and spices with impeccable balance and great length. You can still find this in Portugal at a fraction of the price of the big boys. Highly recommended.

Aged Port with still great aging potential, the alcohol still kicking around a bit so needs a few more years I guess - Classic style Vintage and attractive port - a great value for money for a Vintage

As an eleven year old, I was going through an early puberty when this was on the vine, I'm now technically middle aged...
Definitely aged better than I have.
Both go well with cheese.
