As with at least the last dozen or more bottles I've opened, this one was much better a couple of days later than the day I opened it, even with 8+ hours in the decanter.
I tasted (and in fact, am tasting even as I type) sweet bing cherries, candied plums and Christmas pudding, but with some cough syrupiness on the finish. That said, I'm home sick with a bad cold at the moment, so these TNs must be taken with the proverbial grain of salt. And no, I've taken no cough syrup!
Fairly rich and full-bodied, which it was not the night it was opened (3 days ago).
Tasted with some aged blue cheese from Quebec.
Not a great port, but nice enough for the price and age, especially here in Ontario where aged ports of any price and quality are so rare
:x Though it might not be fair to score it in my current weakened state, I'll say 87 points.
