Golrious balance. Cork was compressed and showing age, though I stored this in my cold cellar. Nose of yellow fruits and flowers. All of a piece, though feeling a bit spendy.
Happy Mother's day to my wife, paired w almond croissants and truffled eggs.

40 Year Tawny Port Blend

“40-Years" indicates an average age – this Aged Tawny Port is a blend of older wines, which offer complexity and younger wines bringing fresh fruit flavors and vibrancy. Rich Golden Amber color with complex aromas of ripe fruit, honey and nutty notes. On the palate flavors of ripe berry fruit, figs and dried fruits with earthy nutty tones. Long finish, smooth and luxurious, well balanced ending with a rich character. Nice, drink now, Tasting Sample! — 4 years ago

1994 Screaming Eagle. Dinner w J&L B and D&M H while staying with D&M in Santa Ynez. Opened and waited about an hour. Decanted right before serving. Tons of jammy dark fruit. Opened more in the glass. JB mentioned full palate and balance. Great finish. Preferred this to ‘91 Dominus once this opened up. — 6 years ago
