1985 Martinez Vintage Port
Another VP I can’t recall ever having. Still has a nice dark ruby color but the nose was really funky. Only medium bodied with lots of heat and some stewed prunes. This was either heat damaged, slightly corked, or both. I thought this might be ever so slightly corked but I’ve no reference to tell if this is a typical bottle or not. I’ve scored only because I not 100% sure of it being corked or not. 86 points.
