Champagne to start, claret with the beef & port with the cheese makes for a happy boy- add four of the loveliest wine pro ladies to the guest list and it is almost to much! This is the best Quinta port I have had, big, rooty and still full of dark sweet fruit. The wine had the acid to balance out the size, and the grace notes to pair perfectly with old cheddar, Cotswold and Point Reyes Blue. What a night of wines!

1989: Softer and more fruity than expected, great by itself, easy to like. Perhaps not as nuanced as some vintages, but very good.
