TN Martins 78

I'm sorry Fred I know it's your birth year but this one is not great but I wish you where here to have tasted it.Started off silky smooth on the palate like caramel then wooah afterburn acidic overload it had age and to be honest after the Tesco 95 it was'nt that bad not that the tescos was that poor but this had character and age.Ive had most top tier ports from 63 onwards and i'm trying to find a gem out of the smaller off vintage years and smaller producers.
