1987 Noval Nacional

Post by KillerB »

Oh dear. Saddest Port of the night goes to the Nacional. First problem was that it was hazy, second was the overpowering brandy on the nose and in the back of the mouth. Tracie said "Prunes" and she was right. It never really recovered and I suspected a fault but couldn't pinpoint it - it wasn't corked, cooked nor bretty - but it was wrong.
