This €95 half glass of port was my retirement present so thanks to everyone for their contributions. Rather than having this in the caves we opted for the veranda at the Yeatman Hotel. It is such a lovely setting looking out across the Douro to old Porto on the other side.
The port was a deep murky brown having a rich nose of old molasses. It is very difficult to describe the taste as the various elements had fused together in great harmony. The overall impression was of sweet rich molasses but this description belies the complexity and harmony that was present. Added to this was a serious depth which meant the experience lingered on in the mouth and gullet long after taking a sip.
