Very fruity on the first day.

On the second day, the nose opened up into intense spice, date/raisin, cinnamon. Same on the palate. A little thin on the mouthfeel. Nice port to start off the 6 months of rain showers Portland will be receiving, i.e. winter.

Have a Taylor fladgate lbv 99 I am looking forward to. Drank way too many bottles of their 94.

I just picked up a bottle of this too in a mixed case of LBV's. I am currently on the Martinez, but will pop this one next.

I hear from port experts that 1999 was a spectacular vintage, and after tasting Offley 1999 LBV, I concur, at least from that producer. So your 99 should be wonderful.

The 1999 LBV that seems to have gotten the highest accolades is my very own favorite producer: Niepoort.
