Decanted about 6 hours. The color is showing some bricking consistent with a top VP of this age. A little hard to gauge the nose due to the food aromas in the restaurant, but allspice, cloves, and possibly Juniper. I loved the soft red fruit body chocked full of strawberries, licorice, that typical "Vargellas spirit" as I call it, cherries, cocoa bean, and wisps of menthol. A lengthy finish was a continuation of that tasty palate. I've had this many times and this bottle is spot on. At peak but will hold here for many many more years to come. Just a wonderful Vintage Port.
