Vintage Port Blend
Porto, Douro, Portugal
375ml. Rich, ripe, plummy and berry ooze fruit still present and accounted for, a little spirity note, and some nice subtle old wood furniture notes. So rich and enveloping on entry, it’s full and quite resolved. Very lengthy. Love this.

Super smooth with a grape kool-aid quality. Certainly has a hot and spicy kick, but seems so much more mellow and vanilla than recent years. Horchata spices along with dark fruit make it drink really well right now.

Toasty smoke...I have no clue how to rate port. My first had to be this beast...ugh!!?! Ok, smoky, warmed up cigar tobacco, dark blackberry smothered in a film of chocolate reduced syrup. That's what I get from this. $80 / 92pts.

Massive body and texture, holds the vintage well but is a baby for sure. Blueberries, chocolate, spicy black currants with a strong note of herbal mint tea. Crazy long finish, still fresh and massively dense.

Took a ton of time to get this drinkable. Cork broke and had to fish out all the bits. Tons of sediment so had to strain that all out. Once drinkable this is fantastic. Fresh baked nut roll on the nose. Like walking into a bakery. Yum yum
