Wednesday Wine Committee. Great hosting by Gavin. 1 sparkler, 4 whites, 4 reds and 2 dessert wines. All served blind as usual. Roasted chestnuts, cinnamon, old raspberry fig and a surprising amount of heat on the nose and palate. Shocked the alcohol is that prevalent at this age! Mellowed a bit slightly in the glass, and the added notes of graham cracker and potpourri became noticeable. I called this 40yr port.

A treat shared by a friend. Initially the alcohol was pronounced but with a little air in the decanter the dark fruit and cigar box notes came out. Tannins are very soft and the wine is pretty evolved. I suppose like most quality port it will last but this is a good time to drink it. A treat.

Another great elegant aged vintage, a bit more solar profile, plummy, rich, burned cigar notes, spicy character - a nice wine

Everything is still in place here, although I think this vintage is definitely on its denouement. I haven’t rated for fear of skewing a perfectly good port with a lower score than it deserves. I just can’t handle port anymore.

Better 3 years ago when we had it last - but still wonderful. Now it’s slightly sweeter and less acid to keep it all together. But the fruit and depth is very much there. Haunting finish, still.

A truly stunning port. The cork was a struggle but the wine itself is in excellent shape. Beautiful clear ruby color. Deep aromas and an incredibly full palate with excellent dark stewed fruit and a ton of acid on the very long finish. Excellent!

Violets and licorice bouquet. Sassafras and Demerara, finishing with an authoritative rooty pucker. Who could ask for more?

Wow - very nice aged port. Does not taste 45 years old at all - not at all muddled in appearance or taste. Deep fruit, excellent acid that keeps it super vibrant, very long finish. Excellent.
