For The Love Of Port

tasted 7/23/10
Ruby with amber rim
on opening-closed toasty blackberry nose, strongly flavored and tannic
4 hr decant-slightly musty blackberry, mocha, plum nose, soft blackberry flavors, noticeable tannins with great acid structure, a little on the sweet side, excellent finish, will wait another 5 yrs for the next one (or not)
6 hr decant- some metallic notes creeping in on the nose, soft, integrated and powerful flavors, excellent
92 points

Jim,
Pretty much in line with my last experience with this VP earlier this year. A very nice bottle that is drinking quite well at the moment, and while it may not get profoundly better, it will be a very nice drinking VP for many more years to come.
