Saturated cork, came out easily, but no signs of leaking. Beautiful developed colour, still a core of red. Gorgeous nose with tertiary aromas of leather, tobacco, raisin and nuts, but also still plenty fruit with strawberries and dark cherries. Same characteristics on the palate plus a lovely minty freshness, licorice, bay leaf and asian spice. Mid-weight, long and very well-balanced. Maybe not the most powerful bottle, but intensely beautiful.

Still incredibly young and primary. Rich nose of red fruit, berries, dates and plumbs. Smooth long powerful palate. Amazing how young this tastes.

Very delicious. A joy to drink. Gorgeous black cherry with new leather, Christmas spices, tobacco, and walnuts. Silky mouthfeel with lively acidity. Long, lip-smacking finish.

Vintage Port 1970 Horisontal (Portvinsklubben 1981): Huge core of dark and intense black cherry fruit with impressions of butterscotch, coffee, chocolate and different spices like cinnamon/cloves.
Intense and explosive wine with a long and very complex aftertaste. Some sweetness left but kept in balance with a vibrant acidity.
Simply, a huge wine that lived up to the hype :-)
