For The Love Of Port

Part of an eighties themed VP tasting in Aarhus Port Club with 10 VP's which were served semiblind.

Decanted for 6 hours

Somewhat translucent with a slight scent of pine needle and anise. Good acidity with a slight bitterness that was refreshing and balanced out the sweetness. Some grapefruit I believe it was. Not overly sweet and very much has its own style compared to the other bottles tasted on the night. Very interesting and intricate. I enjoyed it more than the one I tasted with my farther in December 2016. This is quite mature but has a little more way to go before it reaches full maturity. Very nice showing.

I may need to check in on these again. The last time I had the G83 it was so good that I considered the possibility that it might rival the 1985 after a few more years. Several I'd had before that seemed to be in a funk, but that last one had clearly come out of it and was stellar.
