Vintage Port Blend

Wednesday Wine Committee from this past week. A fantastic hosting by @joe leatherwood . 1 sparkler, 2 whites, 5 reds, 1 dessert wine. All tasted blind as usual.

Very good right now and hardly showing any heat. It’s so well balanced and integrated that I called this early ‘80s port. Plethora of baking spices, cherry liqueur, dark cocoa dipped graham cracker, dates and cherry fig. Nice sweetness. In a good window.

Tawny color, translucent and clear. Enticing fragrant nose. Notes of sweet fruit, cranberries, rose petals and earth. Rich and impactful in the mouth. Long persisting finish. Still young. From a 375.

Such a baby! very concentrated could have slept for another 20 years

Thanks J!

OMG. This is so good. Perfectly in harmony. Figs, dates. Spice cake. Very long finish.

Beautiful 1992 VP. Rich, layered and complex. Yummy!

Excellent with a super blue stilton cheese

Still working that cork.

Fresh and lively but would benefit from more cellar time.
