25% opacity, caramel brown, slightly cloudy. Mature nose, lively, hints of orange. Fine, elegant, mature port, nice balance, sweetness, oranges, some gentle heat in the finish. Very nice port. I guessed CrR67.

S72 LBV, brought by SCD. Orange, 25% opaque. Light; candied; heat; soft. No distinct fruit; very long; too old.
