1970 Gonzalez Byass

24 hour decant, stored stoppered in 'fridge.

This is such a pretty port, cherry red.

Pine resin, and a cape gooseberry note, and then black cherries on nose.

Sweet red cherries on the palate, a little star anise late.

Finish congruent but not lengthy. Really nice port but not profound.

12 hour decant seems about right for this one.
