New Official Port Drinker

Post by John M. »

My son turned 21 and wanted to open one of his bottles!
He's smart and saved the more renowned ones.

Threw off a lot of sentiment for a 21 year old.... and very dark and brooding. Took a sip and alls well so far.

Congrats to your son. Will he be posting his first tasting note?

Happy belated birthday to him. I second asking when he'll post his TN.

He's not ready to post a TN--which is understandable. He did take notes on a scorecard, with a lot of my influence I am sure as we discussed. Here are his impressions:

I like that score card, can that template be downloaded from somewhere?

He did a great job filling it out and probably an accurate score? Never had that port.

I love that scorecard. You posted it in the thread on How to Write a TN that someone made after I asked a couple years ago.
