We recently pulled some cases out of storage, which haven't seen the light of day for nearly 15 years, so I'll have some fun posts in the next several months.

Nose has vintage Port at ~20Y, blackberry, blackcurrant, ripe blueberry, rehydrated raisin, coffee grounds and soil from a forest fire

Palate has orange zest in blackberry jam, dried cherry compote, wet baking spice, molasses cookie, medium tannins with intense finish, can hold easily another +10Y in proper storage. Amazing bottle.

Looks beautifully fresh, showing a touch of oak, nice savoury tannins.

Has the cut and precision of the vintage but the fruit lacks a notch or two of depth.

17.5 still has a few years. Takes 15 min for fruit to emerge fully, but it's there. Good finish.

Still a baby...dark fruits, some toasty oak, and baking spices...this needs some air or a few more years in bottle
