This is really good for a basic ruby port. Dried plum, richly fruited and hint of dried fruit as well. Nice intensity and length and balance. This is easily the best ruby I’ve had. My niece and her husband just brought this back from Portugal. — 3 days ago

Decant for sediment(lots of fine/cloudy sediment) and pour. A majestic tawny dark red color. On the nose: sweet port like with dried plum/cherry, herbaceous, rich soil, mushroom, pepper. Taste: Amazing! juicy, refined, balanced, savory wine with dried cherry, black raspberry, earth, tobacco, mint, and a nice mocha baking spice medium plus finish. YUM! Still delivering at 44 years, and glad to have a few more bottles. — 8 months ago

Ruby core, tawny hints in the rim.
Dried cherries, plums and dates, milk chocolate, brownspices, christmascake.
This is a nice, warm, mature Vintage Port, just a pinch too alcoholic on the finish. — a month ago

Classic old skool offering from Yalumba: every descriptor known to mankind… bit syrupy & viscous for my taste w/plenty of RS - but the aromatics are off the charts! — 10 months ago

Deep Ruby with pronounced aromas of berry fruits, spice and floral notes. On the palate plum, licorice and blackberry flavors, well balanced with lively acidity, full-bodied, big and well structured. Long finish, smooth tannins ending with cacao and rich sweet fruit tones. — 3 years ago

Elegant Ruby color with red fruit aromas and gentle floral spice, aged for about 12 months in French oak, signature blend of grapes from Dundee Hills, Eola-Amity Hills, and Yamhill-Carlton AVA's. On the palate flavors of cherry and black raspberry with notes of herb, licorice and wet stone notes. Soft dusty tannins on a long finish ending with fruit, spice and earthy notes. Very Nice! Drinking well now! — a month ago

medium ruby with quite wide terracotta rim . Quite light spice filled nose at first , allspice , clove , nutmeg with some liquorice and herbal , tobacco and red plum touches. On the palate a bit leaner than the 1993 , but light dried red fruits, sous bois , tobacco and herbal notes. Good length, really nice balance and intensity with fresh acidity and melted sweet tannins . This is still showing well and can last perhaps a further 5 years or so . Quite elegant and classic in style . — 7 months ago

Smells like funky-town. Flavors are great with licorice and berry sauce. Complex. — 3 years ago
