1977 Quarles Harris Vintage Port

[Eric Menchen]

Tasted blind. This also has subtle aroma, and is the most musty of the first four wines tasted. (The other three were 1977 Graham, Niepoort, and Warres.) But it still has some fruit too, raisin and fig. The aroma is growing thicker and more pleasing, and the musty part is becoming more of a pleasant cellar. The flavor is definitely developed, with oxidized fruit, and lots of sugars–caramel, toffee, ... There's is some acid nicely balancing this, orange to tangerine. 91 points.
