After 31 years in my cellar still perfect. Crimson color, liquorice taste, roasted raisins, good level of non obstructive acidity. Very enjoyable.

Like a cross between Graham's and Taylor's Port. Black plum, currant, cinnamon, clove, high tannin, medium + acidity. Sweetness is balanced and well integrated.

Well-balanced and aged elegantly as of January 2018. Enjoyed with friends of the IPS as we gathered in Washington DC

Great, smooth and tasty port. I think 85 was an amazing rating by Parker and thanks to the generosity of Dr. Perrell - who brought this from his cellar.....we tasted this after dinner. Great raiseny deliciousness. Drink me - eat dessert then hop in the sack and be the champion you know you want to be!!!!
