Description

THREE lots of TWO bottles. From their original wooden case and in great condition.

"This lovely port we drank on Christmas day with a great cheese platter.
Calem - Vintage Port 1985 (89 tsomw points)
In the glass a dark ruby / purple colour with a black core.
On the nose intense aromas of black currants, dried apricot, spices, vanilla and chocolate.
On the palate full-bodied, soft and velvet in the mouth, soft tannins. Great interplay between the sweetness and acidity. Great long finish. Still alive after 33 years".

10/5/2017 - HUGO75 LIKES THIS WINE:
Still a nice port, bit on the sweet side, no sign of degradation, should be good for quite some time if you can get the cork out. May have to invest in a port tang if I can get my hands on a few more bottles. Great value port.
Edit, got my hands on a few more bottles, cork was perfect on these, I would say drink them now as there is not much left to develop

No formal notes. Would have been better with more air.

12/27/2016 - DANCKIE LIKES THIS WINE: 91 Points
Good bottle of vp. Colour seemed to hide it's age
Still dark red. Nice and smooth on the palate.
The alcohol was very mild, tannins are fully integrated. Dark fruit and cacao. Pretty decent QPR.
