1997 Sandeman Vau Vintage Port

[Andy Velebil]

My work shift got cancelled for tomorrow at the last minute so emergency decant procedures were immediately implemented. This 375ml was decanted 2 hours at the taking of this note. Showing clear signs of bricking, the nose is overripe grapes and prunes. Semi-smooth texture with anise, light drying tannins, prunes, and a short finish. Overall, this is pleasant but lacking in the complexity department. In this format, age is starting to show and I don't see this getting any better from here. So I'd suggest, at least in this format, to start drinking up soon.
