The youngest VP I have had in awhile. Nice color, Good spicy bouquet. Smooth entry. Gentle on the palate. Decanted 3 hours. Not too hot. Very good stuff. Nice medium finish. I give it 91 points.

As noted in the thread on port tasting groups, I attend a Wednesday group. I am not sure when the waiter pulls the cork but proabbly around 10:30 and we serve dessert about 1:30.
I can try to decant it myself but I deliver it the day before. 24 hours seems too long, but we are really not set up perfectly.
Stil this Q De V was quite smooth and most of our ports tunr out okay. I wish we could get 6-8 hours.
