By the time I got around to tasting the 1991 vintage port I was getting tired and it was getting packed. People bumping into each other and they were all drinking as I was the only one spitting.
This vintage port has always been one of my favorites and I think it is at ready to be polished off. Been in the bottle for almost 20 years, could sit from another but I really like where it is now.
Good plum notes with loads of dark cherries and a very long, silky finish. Still has some spices at the very end but that shows me that it wants you to remember that it is a vintage port. It was a great way to finish the night. For the Saturday part of the event we have the following wineries:
J.M. Cellars
Cossart Gordan Madeira
Kontos
Chappellet Winery
Smith Woodhouse Port
Page Cellars
Hestia
Pondera
Should make for another interesting day of tasting.
