From Wolfgang Starz. French bottled in an Alsace 70cl bottle bearing a crest reading "Guillot Brasseur Feurs (Loire)", hard brown wax capsule, handwritten label reading "Porto 1892".
There was some discussion as to whether this was a white Port, but to my taste (and to Oscar's) this smelt and tasted more like an oxidised Vintage Port. Some citrus tones on the palate implied some barrel aging before the wine was bottled. The finish was very impressive, long and full fo orange oil. Despite the oxidation, this was a very nice wine. 87/100. 15-Dec-22. Decanted 1 hour.

Top Ports in 2022: Quinta do Noval Nacional 1931. I have never drunk such a wonderful bottle of Port. I cried with joy.
2023: Fonseca 1966. There are not many better Ports.
