Anything but Port, this includes all wines other than fortified wines (which have their own section) even if they call themselves Port. There is a search facility for this part of the forum.

1983 Chateau Gruaud Larose

Post by Alex Bridgeman »

Deep red, mature and bricking. Big on the nose with cedar wood and wood ashes - very attractive. Mature fruit on the palate with delicious fruit, lots of cedar and gentle tannins; beautifully balanced and sumptuous. A slight tannic grip on the aftertaste with a pleasantly chewy finish. An absolutely wonderful wine; big, powerful and very well balanced. 92/100.

Drunk at the 2016 Doty Cup.
Top Ports in 2023: Taylor 1896 Colheita, b. 2021. A perfect Port.

2024: Niepoort 1900 Colheita, b.1971. A near perfect Port.
