This page provides an overview of my notes on the Delaforce 1992 Vintage Port. Apologies if the notes are brief (or non-existent); they are mainly recorded for my benefit with public distribution being a secondary priority!
I always enjoy hearing from other Port-drinkers. If you find these notes helpful; or find yourself violently disagreeing with me about them, please do not hesitate to contact me at: port@Jacob-Head.com.
Notes: Really deep purple. Opaque. Slightly subdued nose. Some tobacco at the end of the palate. In the mouth, initial hit of sugar. Then deeply tannic and hard work. Very, very good but needs 20+ years.
Tasted at: Delaforce Tasting

Rated*: C
My rating system attempts to answer the question “is this a good Port?” one of three ways: N—No; P—Possibly; or C—Certainly. Ports generally are weighted slightly by their category. Therefore, a Ruby Port might receive a C rating for Certainly good which it might not were it to be a Vintage Port. I sometimes modify my rating with a plus or minus indicating that the Port is better or worse than might be expected for this category.
