Black purple, fat tears, tints the glass, massive tartaric depot. Pure Vintage Port fruit, sweet dark fruity, soft velvety. Full body, massive dark fruit, powerful acidity, massive but soft tannins - very well balanced. Very long finish, smoky mouth impregnating, warm feeling creeps up. This wine has it all. Score: 50 + 5 for optic + 14 for bouquet + 18 for taste + 9 for overall = total score of 96.
Coburg 20040909. Not blind. Decanted shortly before tasting. Small Bordeaux type glasses. Cuvee of indigenous Douro varietals.

(not blind): Brilliant dark purple, medium tears, tints the glass. Vanille, curd soap, spearmint, barnyard. Full to medium body, coriander, massive sappy dark concentrated port fruit, opulent, bit fat and overripe. Aftertaste concentrated in the middle of the tongue, dark fruit, velvety tannins, some dark chocolate. Score: 50 + 5 for optic + 14 for bouquet + 18 for taste + 8 for overall = total score of 95.
Single Quinta Vintage Port with finished fermentation and no sprit added - the level of fruitiness is a bit over the limit for me. Most powerful wine and potentially great.
