94 WA. "The 1983 Vintage Port is up for a status check. It is in a pretty good place now. It's been as hard as nails over the years. Not anymore. With softened tannins and a medley of old Port flavors on the finish, this is both sensual and delicious, with velvety texture and an irresistible finish. It doesn't have that hard edge any more, but it does wake up and become more intense with some air. At least from this bottle, it comes together rather promptly and drinks well . . . . its complex flavors and general demeanor make it rather sexy. The lingering finish seals the deal. It can keep going for quite some time . . ." eRobertParker.com #222, Dec 2015 |
