For The Love Of Port

Decanted 6 hours ahead.Showing signs of faded purple into brick red, slightly opaque. Strong, yet dry nose of flowers and strawberry--one of the most odoriferous ports I've had. Very inviting. The initial sips are again dry and dusty with hints of leather, a robust aged lighter berry and a moderate to clipped finish--after awhile I could detect traces of chocolate and nuances of cooked red fruits. After another hour the finish extended and was improved. Comes of as moderately complex, such an easy one to drink, so beautiful. Curiously, the next day this was markedly worse; seemed to lose its verve and vitality as if it were open 4-5 days. There is room for further aging, although this drunk well now.

I have been drinking some 1991s and it seems like they are finally starting to come around. Very glad to hear that this showed well!
