"Lush, warm and inviting, with fruitcake, melted licorice, mesquite, black currant and fig paste notes that have melded wonderfully. Ends with a caressing finish. -- Blind 2000 Vintage Port retrospective (March 2021). Drink now through 2030. 6,500 cases made." -JM, 7/22/21

"The 2000 Vintage Port was bottled in 2002. It is a blend of 60% Touriga Nacional, 15%Tinta Roriz, 10% Tinta Barroca and 15% old vines, aged in large wooden vats (balseiros) for 18 months. It comes in at 89.2 grams per iter of residual sugar. Drinking rather well now, this has seductive texture and a balanced presentation, finishing with a touch of sugar and nuances of gracefully maturing Port. Laced with a touch of chocolate, it shows more power and grip as it airs out. When it was tasted again the next day, after plenty of air on Day 1, this showed even better, fresher and steelier. That's a good sign. It demonstrates that it has plenty of life left (hardly a surprise), but it has already acquired necessary complexity and seems fine now. Drink it or hold it. It's in a good place, but it can still improve.: -MS, 4/29/15
