[8-hour decant] Ripe, rich, very youthful still, with a noticeable tannic backbone, but also shows a sweet palate (think Graham’s/Fonseca, though the Symington family owns Graham’s, Dow’s, Warre’s and Cockburn’s, among others??), this should easily evolve/improve another 10-20 years, very long finish, outstanding vintage Porto, super long finish!!

Jan 16th, 2021Nice ripeness, decanted for 10+ hours and drinking beautifully now, but still has potential to develop in bottle, medium-sweet finish, I’m a fan!!
